During physical workouts, your body experiences an intense burst of physiological stress. If these workouts aren’t followed up with a proper recovery routine, it can increase the probability of injury or ailment, and even shorten the span of your career.

 

These sessions aim to bring the nervous system to a parasympathetic state through light-touch. The parasympathetic nervous system —often called rest and digest — is responsible for bringing our body back to a state of relaxation. It slows the heart rate, the breath, and stimulates digestion. It essentially reverses the effects of the sympathetic nervous system — the fight or flight — after a high-intensity workout or during moments of tension.

 

Lingering injuries or unhealed injuries can cause restriction or stagnation of energy in the body. This can result in symptoms like chronic pain, restricted breathing, muscle spasms, joint, and muscle stiffness, decreased range of motion, and poor posture. Restless sleep, insomnia, or irritability may also be an indication of stagnation. 

 

Hanna's approach utilizes light, non-invasive touch that results in a reduction of bodily stress. This can facilitate your body’s healing and recovery process and creates an overall shift in your entire being as restrictions and stagnation are released. This allows energy to move through your body and restore overall balance. 

 

The release of this restricted or stagnant energy is expressed through your breath, body heat, and movement; resulting in noticeable physical, psychological, and mental improvement.  

Light touch recovery sessions can help you:

 

• Help you recover faster from a workout

• Regulate the nervous system

• Feel relaxed, recharged, and rejuvenated — preparing you for the next training session 

• Free yourself from old, dysfunctional patterns and habits

• Increase overall awareness 

 

Gradually this practice can help you realize the extent of your physical capabilities, increase your mental resilience, and unleash your full potential.
