What is Body Alignment?
Stress, long hours at a desk, driving, poor posture, and emotional strain cause muscles to develop sustained contractions known as hypertonic spasms. These tight muscles pull the spine and joints out of alignment, compressing nerves and causing pain, numbness, and reduced function.
Body Alignment uses gentle, targeted pressure to release this deep muscular tension, allowing the skeleton to realign and the body to heal naturally — no medication, no cracking, fully clothed.

What to Expect in Your First Session
Arrive & Consult
You'll have a brief conversation with Marcia about your symptoms, medical history, and what you hope to achieve.
Assessment & Treatment
Marcia will begin by assessing your posture and overall body alignment before applying targeted pulse pressure techniques to key muscles along the spine and other areas of tension. Because the body functions as an interconnected whole, each session considers the relationship between posture, muscular balance, movement patterns, and emotional stress. By supporting better alignment and reducing muscular restriction, the body is better able to function, adapt, and heal naturally.
Post-Session
You may feel immediate relief, lightness, or increased mobility. Drink plenty of water and allow your body time to continue the healing process.
You remain fully clothed throughout.
