i just finished session 10 of the 10 SI series with rama. i had been exploring SI as an option for me due to chronic pain from poor posture and alignment issues. as an active person (soccer, run, snowboard), my chronic knee, hip and back problems were really beginning to impede my performance. i did a lot of research beforehand and was drawn to SI because the process is a permanent change to the body. i chose rama as my practitioner due to his experience with athletes.
my experience through this process has been quite extraordinary. everyone's response to SI is going to be very personal and somewhat different, but to date i've experienced improved quality of breath, improved speed, improved balance and significant improvements with my alignment and posture. others have commented on how i look taller and more relaxed as well. after session 7, i measured my height and i stand nearly an inch taller than i did the last time i measured myself. obviously, i didn't grow; this height "gain" is from the process and my body's own ability to stand taller as rama and i have worked out my frozen fascia.
the whole thing would feel really hippy-dippy to me if not for rama's practicality and coolness factor. rama is a careful and thoughtful practitioner. his professional space is open and clean. he answers all your questions carefully and thoroughly. he explains everything and obviously has great passion for the work. his readily shares his knowledge with you as his client so that you are able to absorb and adopt the changes happening with your body. he is a great listener and sincerely cares that you are feeling and seeing improvement in your body.
i am excited to feel and experience how my body will change over the next months and years. i can not advocate enough for the SI process (i am a convert and it is worth investing your massage therapy dollars at some fancy spa into the SI series). i have recommended rama to numerous friends and teammates because i believe strongly that he is one of the best SI practitioners in southern california.
Pros: thoughtful considerate and aware
