A private, hands-on bodywork session built on a methodology Craig Soles developed on himself first, then refined into a repeatable system, fascial maneuvers, counter-rotational pressure, and centuries-old internal strength practice, applied by hand, in real time, to exactly what your body is holding.
"Most people walk out feeling better than they walked in."
A session with Craig is an immersive, hands-on experience that requires presence, trust, and a willingness to be met exactly where you are. The pressure applied is never fixed. It shifts, softens, intensifies, and redirects in real time, guided entirely by what your body reveals in the moment.
No two sessions are alike. Your body leads. Craig follows.
The work involves close personal contact in a professional, safe, and deeply respectful environment. Craig enters your personal space deliberately and with full awareness, because that is where the body holds its secrets. The combinations of position, breath, counter-rotational pressure, and fascial release he has mapped over a lifetime would take most people years to begin to understand on their own, let alone apply to themselves. He compresses that journey. He unlocks what you cannot reach by yourself.
Sessions run standing, seated, or lying down, whichever position each maneuver calls for, in person at his Vancouver practice, on location, or live and virtual with you performing the maneuvers under his direction. Beyond the session itself, Craig teaches self-maintenance techniques so results hold between visits.
"People walk in carrying weight they have often held for years. They walk out lighter, physically, neurologically, emotionally."
Three disciplines, one system. Not layered on top of each other, fused, over a lifetime of physical conditioning and nine months of relentless refinement.
Inspired by The Human Garage. Releases stored tension across the fascial network at its root, not the symptom.
"Standing like a post." A Shaolin isometric practice rooted in the Twelve Movements: feet rooted, body still, internal pressure and structural integrity built through stillness, combined with somatic breathwork.
The "Muscle and Tendon Changing Classic," one of the oldest Shaolin texts. Structurally, it is the same stance Canadian hockey players are taught without knowing it: weight rooted, edge work, internal strength built through the feet. Different names, different centuries, same body.
This is the part that took nine months to map, and it is the core of everything Craig teaches: he locates pressure and constriction, finds the exact point where the pain originates, then traces backward from that point to its root cause, the original injury site where the fascia seized in protection and has waited, sometimes for decades.
It is never one point worked in isolation. The fascia is one connected system, so multiple points of pressure are located and worked simultaneously, because a restriction in one place is often what is showing up as pain somewhere else entirely.
None of it came from a textbook. It came from mapping his own body first, starting at the top of the skull and working outward, point by point, out of necessity. Pressure to adhesion to origin is not a technique he was taught. It is the technique he built.
Craig Soles is a Métis Indigenous Body Mechanic (Cree & Ojibwe ancestry), Human Garage FMC-Level 1 (certification pending), based in Vancouver, BC. He built this methodology on his own body first, through a lifetime of elite physical conditioning and a system he mapped out of necessity, then refined it into what he now teaches and delivers, one session at a time.
Sessions are limited by design, this is one-on-one work, not a class. Booking holds your time.
