FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

"Structure governs function” is a phrase in physical therapy meaning the bones and how they are aligned will control the way muscles work. The less tension in the muscle, the better they work as well. Focusing on how the structure moves and is aligned with gravity will automatically cause the muscles to work effectively and efficiently. 

No. I guide people to do movements in a way that works on a deep level. Many people feel they have had a massage after doing the movements.

Depends on the problem. If there is an injury to soft tissue, this can take time for the healing of the tissue to occur. With the McCall Method taking the stress off of weak or painful tissue, it accelerates the healing process.

Oh yes! The impact of how the structure is lined up with the foot and ankle play a big role in the way the tissue in that area is stressed. When there is repeated improper stress or a lack of “good stress” in the foot ankle then things get out of balance and break down.

It’s about refocusing your attention to feel fundamental movements. For instance, bending well is a powerful, basic movement. It involves a lot of small details that have to be felt and practiced. Your tight back or hamstrings will loosen. And, once it’s learned, it will also have a big impact on the way you walk and sit. Your sense of balance returns, even though you may not have noticed how much balance you’ve actually lost.
