Q & A about Tightness, Backs, etc & Misalignment You can read, free on-line, about typical misalignments you may have, caused by fascia shortness, creating muscle tightness all over.

Contact Lou for info, free consult, sessions & ordering TESTIMONIAL on my Free Phone Consult Louis, thanks for all your help. Between the stretching, deep tissue massage from my therapist and 3 visits to a Chiropractor I'm feeling great.  I haven't had much free time to try the hands on massage yet, but I will. I also have been eating more greens (as you advised) and have been drinking more of my Barley green juice. It also helps a lot. Again thanks for your help and I'll give you a call if I need any further help. I've told several people about your web site and how it helped me. Good Luck in all you do and please continue to help people like you do. There are so few people who take the time to help others. Thanks, Ms DW, Florida USA, Age 42                 Back to Top STRETCHING DVD VIDEO DETAILS Costs & Recommended Packages incl Discounts  Goes to Green Box Below WHAT THIS METHOD IS ABOUT As a Structural Integration Bodyworker I have developed stretching that has worked for people for 25 years.  Comes with unique, detailed 100 & 200 pg Informative E-books. Hi Lou,   I received the DVD's on Saturday - they're perfect !   So easy to follow, and so informative.  From Ms. LZ in Arizona USA Lou's DVD Videos are a good value. From a Health Club Owner in the UK (England) A New, improved "Method," for ALL Stretching This is NOT a yoga nor aerobics method, but I & others have used this method, & some of these stretches, to improve our yoga & aerobics. It IS a Structural Integration Bodywork method, to lengthen the fascia & learn how to stretch "actively," not passively, in long groups of muscles, section by section, with your mental awareness right inside the fascia-muscles you are stretching.  And by using other parts of your body as a lever while you are in special positions.   This Stretching definitely helps the hands-on Structural Integration Bodywork sessions.  The Bodyworker can often do more in the session & more results in lengthening & alignment are created by the stretching on top of the hands-on.  Definitely, the hands-on helps the stretches do more, too. Both the DVDs & My Free Stretch Coaching Introductory Session are Personal One-to-One FASCIA Anatomy Instructions & Simultaneous IMMEDIATE Body Improvement. 1.  I SHOW PEOPLE, WITH THEIR OWN BODIES, HOW TO RELEASE BACK TIGHTNESS A lot of people have stretched away their back pain at home & for low cost, & some even did it right in the phone consult, including a professional golfer.  At the same time you help BACK pain, you also help HIP problems.   Here's the re-lengthening concept:  If you make your LEGS longer on the insides (medial), & front, & make the front of your torso longer & more uplifted, as well as lengthen some of the tightness you created in the back of the legs, then you can get the torso to sit over the legs, instead of arching backward in the low back and maybe bent over in the upper back, chest and neck.  When you have to arch backward, you simultaneously have to push your hips forward & that makes tightness 7 misalignment in the hip joints, too, plus even more tightness in the thighs and legs, including the hamstrings. Lengthening the front & front of legs is key to loosening backs better. Read how the Structural Integration approach to body lengthening     Improves chiropractic results See for more info about improving backs Back Fix Book Info Page Often helps prevent surgery, like disk replacement, if the back is lengthened soon enough, & it usually helps the surgery to be more successful after the needed disk is replaced. Read how the structural integration approach     Helps orthopedists & prevents necessary surgery I explain all this right on the phone - with stretches in your own body, as I coach you in doing them to make these conditions better. 2. YOU GET THE CONCEPT TO APPLY TO ALL YOUR OTHER STRETCHING & YOGA, TOO. This Stretching "Method" Improves ALL Stretching:  greater length, more loosening, easier, & it lasts longer because you're stretching the interconnected muscle lengths, too. Read how Structural Integration Fascia Stretching can     combine with massage by reading how Structural Integration is     Different from Massage.  The massage always makes it     easier for me to stretch this way with my own body,     & after I stretch, the massage can get in deeper     & do more, even comfortably. See for more info on overall body loosing: Structural Integration Bodywork Info Articles - Menu at Right You can also use specific stretches at brief times in the day and at work, and also integrate them into your longer workouts.  People have said they help with car driving, desk sitting, leaning over a computer & typing, & lots of walking. 3. YOU CAN EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW TO APPLY THIS "METHOD" SO YOUR PILATES CAN BE DONE TO STRETCH MORE. You'll probably learn things about your body structure that almost NO Pilates teacher may have told you. See the Detailed DVD Video Info Page 1.

down the          court. I noticed in practice in the very next 2 days          that he moved much more efficiently.  And he          himself felt his legs were much looser.                College Basketball Coach           My best Long jumper had been out of practice           for a whole week with low back pain.  After a           single 1-hour treatment he was back in practice           with no pain & more looseness.  During the State           Championships he got a cramp in one leg that           would not release.  After a 45 minute treatment           in the trainer's tent, with his next jump he took           second in the meet.              College Track Coach           A senior baseball catcher had been receiving           electrical stimulation healing for a week for the           triceps muscle in his upper throwing arm with no           correction of the pain.  Lou found the arm & his           whole body were very tight.  After 1-1/2 hrs           treatment the arm pain was totally gone and           was still gone a week later.              College Head Trainer, also taking the Olympic Team                   Training Course.         Now I don't feel beat up nor have to see the           chiropractor after each strong workout.              Olympic Team Alternate Long Jumper          They taught us that running is faster when the            body is relaxed.  Now I can do it.                 Olympic Team 400 Meter Runner          I didn't even know my feet were tight.  I just           came in for hip tightness.  Now I can also push           off with my toes.                 6-Time Big-8 College Conference 400 Meter Running                 Champion (Now the Big 12)           Now I pass people at the end of a marathon,            going up hill, and I am completely recovered            after just 2-days.  I am 3-months ahead of the            Runners' World magazine schedule & this is the            only thing I've been doing differently from what            they say.               Dentist. 28 yr old Marathon runner        Even from the first sessions, a tremendous sense           of looseness, relaxation and lightness appeared           in each of the areas of my body that were           worked on, including my legs.  My neck & lower           back problems have significantly improved, too.         Now after hours and hours on the tennis court, I           usually do not feel the stiffness and tightness           that I used to feel on an almost daily basis.             Country-Club Tennis Pro          I'm age 36, training for my 4th Olympics.          I'd had chronic Achilles tendon tightness and            operations for tears on both ankles.  The            bodywork corrected the tightness in my calves            and they now move fluidly.  Scar tissue had built            up & that also got broken up.           My thighs are also looser and lighter, they move            easier and faster & I've noticed I'm picking up            speed in my training.  The treatment broke up &            loosened the scar tissue under my buttocks at            caused from pulling too hard during weight lifting            about 2 years earlier, tearing the upper            hamstring.  And it was never the same.  Every            time I did weight lifting for it, it would hurt.            Now, it feels a lot better.        My torso feels looser and more flexible & an            ongoing point of pain is now gone.           I'd also had a misalignment so that when I lifted            my right leg it didn't come up straight but twisted            outward after it was half way up. That, too, was            corrected.         This all was accomplished in three, 3-hr             treatments.  I made finalist in the Olympic Trials.               Willie Banks, WORLD RECORD HOLDER, Triple Jump,                     3-Time OLYMPIAN         Jump up to Links for Many More Athlete's                & Other testimonial's   Mike Powell, WORLD RECORD HOLDER Long Jump 1988 & 1992 OLYMPIC SILVER MEDALIST (from many 2-hr and 4-hr Bodywork sessions)             Lou makes my body work the way it's supposed to work.  The treatments allow me to do what I do, easier, and more fluently.  And when I really have to work hard or dig deep, I'll be able to go further.             After each session my flexibility, range of motion, speed and balance are all better.  When I get to the warm-up, that's when I realize how much more I have.  My range of motion is so increased that it takes me some workouts to get it integrated with my strength and technique.  And when that happens my overall performance gets even better.             After the third session, I had the best workout I ever had in my life and jumped 28-2, almost two feet longer than last years best in a workout. Even when I'm tight, I've jumped 27-6.  The looser I am, the easier it is to get out there.  I had the speed and strength before, but the flexibility I've gotten from the treatments allows me to utilize it.             I also don't have to work at control as much; now it just happens, and I only have to work on the areas that need work.            My overall body positioning is also better, and the way I walk and stand is better.
