Myofascial Energetic Release (MER)

An MER treatment is a holistic form of deep bodywork, developed by Satyarthi Peloquin. It helps to address the root cause of pain, restriction of movement and blockages in the body by soothing chronic contractions in the tissue.

MER is aimed, among other things, at pain relief and the release of emotional ballast. So the method does not only work to free you from chronic physical pain. It also has an effect on the underlying emotional and psychological pain, of which you were often unaware. This is how it helps if you suffer from depression, or if you are on a point of transformation in your life. MER helps you to become more who you really are.

MER works with a unique synthesis of deep and soft connective tissue manipulation, joint release, energy and breathing, myofascial relaxation, body awareness training and the release of emotions. In the soft connective tissue layers of the body we come across stuck spots in the form of shortened, hardened muscle connective tissue. During a treatment, we look together for those cramped spots in your body. Together with you, I focus on relaxing these pavements and activating the body's natural recovery capacity.

By giving pressure and heat to these places and applying breathing, we let this melt and relax. The posture, temperature and hardness of your tissue indicate where tension, blockages and reflexes can be found, which cause an imbalance. Treatment with EIA results in a better distribution of energy and the absence of complaints.

Fascia is soft connective tissue in the body that wraps around every other tissue in the body. It is a network of tissue that connects everything together. Muscles also contain a lot of connective tissue, also called Myofascia. This tissue has the characteristic that it contains memories of trauma, in which the muscle became cramped in the past. When this tissue contracts, it compresses pain-sensitive nerves and that causes pain. Fascia has more sensitive nerves than any other tissue in the body. When the tissue is strongly contracted, it loses its sensations and thus you become insensitive to pain, but also to pleasure.

Tijs Breuer sees MER as a unique fusion of meditation and touch. I touch you with presence, acceptance, love and honor for the unique person that you are. Not only do I touch your body, but we meet each other's consciousness through the body. Through my warmth and your attention you release the holding patterns in the body and we open the space in your body for more presence, more self-confidence, zest for life and pleasure.
