Cranial Sacral Therapy

Is a holistic healing practice that uses very light touching to balance the craniosacral system in the body, which includes the bones, nerves, fluids, and connective tissues of the cranium and spinal area.

Lymph Drainage

Consists of gentle, rhythmic massaging of the skin to stimulate the lymph nodes to open and drain. The rhythmic massage also encourages an increase of the natural circulation of the lymph through the body. The lymph system depends on peristalsis and the movement of skeletal muscles to squeeze fluid through lymph ducts and vessels.

Hot Stone

Works on the bases of using heated stones to penetrate the tissues at a deeper level and alter the physiological state of those tissues. The heat works to soften and melt the tissues while the manual pressure of the therapist permits the breaking up of adhesions and fibrous scar tissue. This technique can also be employed as a relaxation tool.

Peripheral Neuropathies

Nerves run deep to muscle tissues and can compress, occlude, or damage the nerve fibers. By manually releasing the muscle tissues it takes the compression forces off of the nerve fibers, allowing proper nerve transmission and stimulation throughout the body.
