Ivan Duben Integrative Therapies

Soft Tissue Specialist

What is your pain pattern?

Many pain sufferers have a pattern of strain in the body that keeps them stuck in the hamster wheel of chronic pain. My treatments focus on uncovering the strain patterns that involve the entire body and that have built up over time. If you have pain, your body is running out of options to compensate for alignment issues and poor flexibility. Pain indicates a system that is out of balance but the cause can be an area where you feel little pain or strain. Your body is totally interconnected and therefore my assessment focuses on soft tissue, joints, posture and movement. The solution to pain relief lies in an integrative approach to resolving the existing pain pattern.

This approach is ideal for individuals who have chronic pain, unresolved injuries, previous surgeries, motor vehicle accidents and repetitive strain activities incurred in sports or excessive computer work.

Services include:

Myofascial length Testing - This involves a thorough examination of the body's fascial restrictions that contribute to misalignment and pain.

Myofascial Release - Hands-on approach to creating long lasting change in tissue and muscle that keeps the body in its pain pattern. Mobilizing fascia with friction release techniques will remove adhesions and scar tissue. Results include hydrating tissue and restoring range of motion. Perfect for issues such as IT band syndrome, Knee pain, and neck and shoulder tension.

Cranial Sacral - Ideal for post-traumatic stress. The techniques are gentle and very effective for resolving concussion residue, headaches, migraines, hormonal issues, and TMJ related pain. Used as a powerful integration tool pre- and post-treatments. Very relaxing, but the results can often travel through the body with a wave of change.

Fluid treatment protocol - Ideal for restoring circulation to arthritic hips, knees or ankles. Fluid treatments can be very effective for restoring vitality to most post-surgical treatments such as ACL or MCL repairs. Treatments are gentle and often leave joints feeling lubricated again.



Disclaimer
The change needed to transform many chronic issues is based on a process of unwinding strain patterns. Many people experience immediate relief of specific issues following only a few treatments. If you have been hurting for a significant length of time and you have multiple pain areas please respect the fact that it took time for the patterns to establish themselves and therefore they take time to resolve.

Veronica McClurg"As a dancer, ex-gymnast, and Pilates instructor I thought I was very in-tune and connected to my body. As I started going through the sessions with Ivan, I realized how much I was not. I had holding patterns that I just could not get rid of and I also realized how much my stress and emotions were affecting tension/pain in my body. I had it so long that no amount of stretching could relieve it. I'm almost 40 years old and my body has never felt better, it has also improved my Pilates immensely."
