“What do you feel when the muscles change?”
Inquisitive clients have posed this question over recent weeks. My response?
To those of us doing Bridging®, the change feels like the muscles and movements soften and melt, similar to butter. The movement become easier for us, and for you!
Butter can have many states from hard to melted:
- frozen solid
- refrigerator hard
- room temperature softness
- a melted fluid
As your muscles begin to work together better they end up in the soft, easy to spread state. The work of each muscle becomes shared with a larger network so each individual muscle can relax, knowing it can work only when needed, and that it now has helpers.

Hard Time Learning to 🚲 Ride?
/in Bridging Technique, Children /by tilproThere are FOUR aspects of coordination required.
I’ve written about biking before, but usually from an injury perspective.
This is the time of year that younger children are testing out new bikes, and parents are trying to teach bike riding skills.
With success, the joy is unbelievable.
When the skills just don’t happen, the frustration and doubt run deep.
This is when a little Bridging® can problem solve about why the skill is a challenge, and get your child over the hump! Read more

Playground exploration is an essential part of childhood for learning new physical skills, and learning to take risks. These are vital aspects of development!
Sometimes your child needs a little help, then they figure it out. Sometimes a little help doesn’t work and your child feels left out and frustrated. You feel frustrated and helpless. Maybe they’ll get it next week, or next year.

Cancer Journey? Yes, There Are So Many Aspects to This
/in Bridging Technique, Cancer, Sickness & Infections, Surgical Recovery /by tilproCancer treatment support is a personal topic for me. This month marks 20 years since my son was diagnosed with leukemia at age 6.
During his 3+ years of treatment he endured 2 surgeries, 38 lumbar punctures, countless IV’s and hospital stays. He was messed up from treatment, and because of treatment.
I found out first hand the importance of mentally and physically supporting him during and after the process.
The Bridging® support I was able to provide came in some years after his treatment and primarily addressed latent effects. He still has some concerns this many years later, but he is generally doing great! Read more

Original? Delta? Omicron? Long? 😵
/in Bridging Technique, Sickness & Infections /by tilproOmicron, Delta, or Original?
Almost sounds like drink orders at a bar, right?
But which version you contracted wasn’t really a choice. For those of us who got Covid, we pretty much ended up with the catch of the day.
I had Omicron. It wasn’t nothing, but it wasn’t terrible. And, thankfully, no lasting effects that I’m aware of.
However, for many of you, lingering issues from the virus are still a concern. Read more
