Developed in the late ’70s by
French osteopath Paul Chauffour, Mechanical Link is a gentle
manual therapy that encourages the balance of tensions in
the fascial system — that complex web of tissue that
interconnects and affects all other body systems. It spreads
throughout the body uninterrupted, providing physical stability
while also allowing flexibility and mobility.
Think of the fascial network as a spider
web. Imagine what happens if one area of the web is pinched
or tightened: everything else distorts. The body compensates
for physiological or traumatic stress in much the same way
— by producing patterns of tension called lesions that
affect the entire structure.
These patterns are intended to relieve
pain and disability and protect the body from further stresses.
Yet the long-term effects of such compensation can prove
debilitating.
Mechanical Link therapy is guided by
the body’s own wisdom about its unique needs. The work
stimulates to the body’s self-corrective responses,
promoting normal mobility, tissue tone and posture. Mechanical
Link brings tension into equilibrium and allows the body
to return to optimal functioning ability, so all its systems
can improve — including the immune system.
