Specialized soft-tissue mobilization, muscle articulation, and corrective orthopedic programming designed specifically for bodybuilding competitors, competitive athletes, and weightlifters.
Eleni holds a Master's degree in Occupational Therapy and acts as a licensed hand therapist. Her techniques are rooted in solid orthopedic anatomy, wound healing stages, and biomechanics.
By reviewing front, side, and back posing lines, Eleni determines where restrictions or fascial adhesions are locking down muscles, preventing balanced development and stage presentation.
Seattle-local athletes can book hands-on soft tissue sessions. Remote athletes worldwide can schedule customized virtual orthopedic programming and muscle activation reviews.
"The Polites Method was created in January 2024 when I had a wellness competitor reach out inquiring about bodywork as she has utilized multiple methods for soft tissue mobilization prior. I had her send me posing pictures and we discussed what I assessed was going on. Following treatment we took pictures and noticed a profound difference in the aesthetics of her physique. From there, I continued my work on various divisions across men and women with drastic improvements post-bodywork."
