Sol Bodyworks

Julanne Rafter better known as Jules is the founder of Sol Bodyworks remedial massage therapy. Having developed a unique blend of skills this therapy offers excellent results when combined with specific techniques to modify overall posture. Afterall optimium posture means optimal alignment of the bones and muscles. 

As part of therapy, you may also be offered lifestyle advice and exercises that you can do at home in between sessions otherwise just enjoy the improved range of movement and ease in your body.

Many of the services that are offered are still misunderstood by members of the public in reality remedial massage is a very broad term used for a range of different treatment styles. Jules aim is to  reduce or eliminate pain, restore function and the return to optimal positioning of joints and bones, the lymph and blood supply. Only a specially trained therapist will be able to offer Direct Myofascial Release( DMFR) the cornerstone of her therapy. 

 

"I am confident of the skills that I have obtained over the years and uniquely placed to be able to offer excellent treatment outcomes for a large range of chronic and acute conditions particularly pain relief,

postural management to improve tolerance to repeatitive movement issues around work

and pregnancy."

  

On the website, you will be able to find details and an explanation of the skill kit that is utilised at no additional cost using some or any treatment modes listed during treatment. Remedial therapy is practised in an organised series of sessions or individual sessions within a framework that are designed to lengthen, stretch, soften tissue restoring postural balance, ease of movement, and a feeling of being more at home in your own body. This is designed to give your overall sense of wellbeing to once again do things that perhaps previously weren’t possible.

 

Improving performance is not isolated to sporting types

 

When you browse through the website you will find information about all the services  on offer and what to expect during your massage at the Clayfield clinic. There is information regarding your session as well information about your therapist which can help to put some clients more at ease as I appreciate that some people will naturally be nervous or apprehensive.

PHILOSOPHY
Neuro Muscular Therapy NMT
Physical Therapist

NMT is highly effective for clients who present with  pain and is often successful in reducing or eliminating even longstanding painful conditions resulting from sprains and strains. Some of the techniques can also be applied to acute trauma and for post-surgical care; many help to improve performance in sport or dance and to prevent injuries related to work.

NMT assessments and examinations primarily address

  • ischemia (tight tissue with reduced blood flow)

  • myofascial trigger points (hypersensitive points within muscles that give rise to referred phenomena, including pain)

  • neural entrapment (pressure on nerves by muscles and other soft tissues), and nerve compression (pressure on nerves by osseous and other bonelike tissues, such as cartilage or discs).

  • postural assessment (assessment of the position of the body)

  • and dysfunctional gait patterns (manner of movement when walking)

  • with constant consideration for many other perpetuating factors, such as hydration, nutrition, breathing patterns, and psychologic stress.

Pain

Addressing and managing pain is an important goal at sol bodyworks. Many clients ask will it be painful and are surprised at the number of painful spots laying dormant once in massage.   These experiences do vary, most factors that cause pain and dysfunction can be easily grouped under three general headings of biomechanical, biochemical, and psychosocial factors and are closely interrelated.  

Good communication and use of a pain scale assists when working through discomfort and may require a multidisciplinary approach. You may be asked to breath deeply as the massage therapist works on tense areas, breathe work is an important aspect of treatment both to elevate the parasympathetic nervous system and return to effective breathing patterns.

 Direct Myofascial Release Therapy DMFR
Massage

This type of bodywork focuses on the connective tissue, or fascia of the body. Fascia surrounds muscles, groups of muscles, blood vessels, organs, and nerves, binding some structures together while permitting others to slide smoothly over each other.

Connective tissue is designed to be elastic and move freely with muscles and bones.  Injury, stress, work-related repet
