Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive form of bodywork that focuses on relieving compression in the bones of the head, sacrum and spinal column. The goal of craniosacral therapy is to minimize restrictions in these areas to improve functioning of the central nervous system. In a typical session, the client lies on their back, fully clothed, on a massage table while the therapist makes light contact at selected points around the head, torso, knees and feet to relieve both stress and pain. CST differs from chiropractic care in that there is no bone manipulation or forceful thrusts used to realign bones. CST differs from most massage techniques due to its extremely light touch and focus on holding and supporting parts of the skeletal system, rather than pressing and kneading the muscular system.
CST is a great way to start your overall wellness journey as it helps retrain your muscle memory to remain where the skeletal system needs it to be to function best. CST allows the body and muscles to relax to their fullest potential and clients can maintain this feeling of relaxation for several days following a session. It is highly recommended to book three sessions of CST relatively close together (1 to 2 weeks apart) to help retrain and reset the muscle memory. Usually after these three sessions the client is able to just come in for maintenance work every 4 to 6 weeks to keep the body naturally aligned.
Orthopedic Massage
Orthopedic Massage is a type of injury rehabilitation that focuses on the muscles and soft tissues surrounding joints. The aim of orthopedic massage is to relieve pain while restoring balance to the tissues and create a fuller range of motion. Coupled with Total Body Balancing, this technique addresses the entire body, influencing all systems including the lymphatic, visceral, craniosacral, myofascial and musculoskeletal. During your session, range of motion, flexibility, and rotation of the tissues will be evaluated by the therapist. This will help determine what muscle groups and tendons are involved and which techniques would be best. An assortment of soft-tissue techniques will be used to loosen the muscles and tendons.
Orthopedic massage can benefit clients with many symptoms and conditions. It is shown to greatly help after orthopedic surgeries such as ACL, knee or hip replacement. Soft tissue injuries like sprains, pulled muscles or torn ligaments are also greatly benefited by this massage.
Other conditions which benefit are Carpal-tunnel syndrome, Frozen shoulder, Tennis elbow, Tendinitis, Sciatica and Bulging discs.
Reiki Session &
Chakra Balancing
Reiki is a traditional Japanese practice that can provide stress reduction and relaxation, and also promotes healing. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. A Reiki session will begin with the client laying on their back, fully clothed, on the massage table. The therapist will begin the session by observing, through the use of a pendulum, the seven chakras and whether they are balanced. The effect of well-balanced chakras often translates into a feeling of well-being, relaxation, centeredness, increased vitality and embodiment of oneself. The Chakra balancing process can help restore a harmonious flow of energy across the entire chakra system.
Following the observation of the seven Chakras, the Therapist will work through the use of Reiki towards establishing sufficient and consistent flow where there is not enough, regulating energy where there’s too much, and aligning where there’s distortion or displacement. Reiki is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. When our "life force energy" is low, we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Some people describe this as a person’s aura.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being.
Scar Tissue Release
Scar Tissue Release Therapy with the Dolphin Neurostim Devices applies concentrated, low frequency, microcurrent stimulation to a special combination of key acupuncture, motor, and trigger points for the treatment of pain and the release of scar tissue and adhesions. This treatment works to minimize scar-tissue development and the subsequent physiological restrictions. Your session will be focused on your specific scar(s). The therapist will use the Dolphin Neurostim.™, which are hand-held microcurrent devices that produce microcurrent stimulation, thousands of times less in strength than traditional TENS devices to the three body systems at once (nervous, muscular and endocrine), while combining the principles of acupuncture and modern neurology. This allows the tissues to electrically repolarize or restore the cellular metabolism of the scar tissue.
In both men and women, scars and potential limited mobility can lead to pelvic pain, abdominal pain, infertility, poor organ function and muscle imbalances. Fascia restrictions can create postural problems as well and contribute to back or neck pain; and may even cause abdominal cramps, bloating, constipation and/or different types of incontinence. Some benefits of Scar Tissue Release Therapy are release trapped nerve endings, improve circulation, increase mobility and tissue/organ motility, improve organ function, decrease or prevent keloids and scar visibility, restore muscle balance and strength and move without restrictions, fear or pain.
