Introduction

Hello, I’m Tony Preston.

This is Integrative Works.

I created this blog to help people have a better quality of life through bodies that have less pain, more flexibility, and improved structural performance.

This blog helps people in pain

These posts help them to understand:

  • Most pain is part of a pattern and seldom unique or mysterious.
  • Relief from pain starts with identifying the larger pattern.
  • Most pain patterns alter the movement and activities of daily living.
  • Relief, especially temporary relief, is often quick and easy.
  • Self-care strategies can offer longer-lasting relief.
  • Some pain needs to be addressed by a professional.

This blog helps bodywork therapists:

These posts help them to understand:

  • Integrative Bodywork creates bodies that are self-correcting.
  • Symptomatic Bodywork produces relief.
  • Integrative and Symptomatic Bodywork can be blended, based on goals.
  • A hierarchy of governors is the footing of the integrative approach.
  • A framework of therapy improves the success of treatments.
  • Results are self-evident when testing before and after treatment.
  • Classical and Integrative protocols that are specific to the problem.
