CranioSacral (SM)
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress (among other things). It does this by optimizing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. Developed by physician William Sutherland, this therapy provides a very soothing and relaxing healing experience.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Movement Education
Movement education uses a custom-tailored approach to improving your body awareness and movement skills. Combining problem-solving, guided-discovery, and exploratory methods, this practice inevitably leads to a stronger connection between the mind and body, creating a more natural and graceful experience of movement and interaction with other people.
Cupping
Massage Cupping is the combination of massage movements and negative pressure with the use of a suction device on the skin. A cup is placed on the area to be treated and depending on the type of cups being used; a vacuum is created to draw the skin and underlying tissue into the cup. The produced vacuum creates a suction effect that increases blood and lymphatic circulation locally and systemically, and relaxes muscles, improves skin tone and releases toxins and pain creating factors.
Hot Stone Therapy
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain.
Auriculotherapy
Auriculotherapy (aw-rik-ulo-therapy) can be described as a kind of needleless acupuncture where the focus is the auricle, or the visible, external portion of the ear. An FDA approved treatment, Auriculotherapy is often used to treat chronic pain, migraine headaches, stress relief, and more.
Kinesio Taping
Kinesio Taping is a way to bridge somatic correction from treatment to treatment. This gentle product stays on your skin for 3-5 days and can be used to decreased edema, pain and normalize muscle, fascia and other structures. An assessment is required prior to taping!
