Neuromuscular Therapy targets the soft tissue or trigger point that causes the pain. When pain is reduced, the range of motion is improved. This type of massage relieves muscle tension and soreness which boosts mobility and flexibility by treating musculoskeletal pain and injuries. It is often used for treating chronic pain and injury, and improving posture and muscular imbalances. The advanced Neuromuscular Therapist works with the client to retrain the connection between your muscles and your brain to restore muscle function.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system which is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.

Deep Tissue Massage Therapy works to lengthen and relax deep tissue. During deep tissue massage, the therapist applies slow, forceful strokes. These help release knots and strains in the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. The overall aim is to realign the muscles and release chronic muscle tension from ailments or injuries. This type of massage may help manage pain and increase a person’s range of motion. Deep tissue massage may be a suitable option to treat sports injuries or chronic pain.

Athletic/Sports Massage Therapy is the specific application of massage techniques, hydrotherapy protocols, range of motion/flexibility protocol, and strength-training principles utilized to achieve a specific goal when treating an athlete.

Breathwork consists of the active form of consciously working your breath to bypass the mind and enter a different state of awareness. This is what most people seek when meditating, and breathwork takes you to that place very quickly. The practice gives the brain's executive functioning something to focus on, so you can bypass the mental level of consciousness and drop into a deeper state of consciousness, where healing, spirit, and love reside.

Myofascial Release (MFR) is performed without the use of oils or creams. It involves the application of gentle sustained pressure into fascial restrictions, eliminating pain, and restoring motion. Trauma or inflammatory responses can cause these restrictions in the fascia, which is the uninterrupted connective tissue that surrounds and attaches to every structure in the body.

Neural Manipulation (NM) is a gentle, precise, light-touch, hands-on treatment that releases local nerve restrictions while at the same time examines the effect these local fixations have on the rest of the body, and by accessing this relationship, changes the more comprehensive (global) dysfunctional patterns. It also enhances the proper functioning of the nervous system.

Neural Reset Therapy (NRT) works with specialized nerve bundles called mechanoreceptors. The receptors respond to pressure, velocity, vibration, stretch, and other forces. When receptors detect a change, a signal is sent to the spinal cord and then relayed to the brain. With NRT, the therapist briefly stimulates the receptors embedded in the selected muscle by asking for a position to be held or for a movement in a particular direction. Or the therapist taps on a muscle in such a way as to cause receptors to send a special message to the spinal cord. That new message goes through the spinal integrating center which will reset the nervous system so the muscle is optimized neurologically. With the reset, the muscular pain and tightness disappear within seconds.

Prenatal & Postnatal Massage Therapy helps reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Prenatal and postnatal massage therapy addresses different needs through varying techniques, one of which is called Swedish Massage.

Somatic Bodywork Technique is used when an individual is having a difficult time controlling the tension and discomfort of their muscles. It is the result of memories or traumatic experiences that have been repressed and forgotten about consciously – although the subconscious has yet to deal with the experience. Somatic bodywork, then, focuses on your inner perceptions and experience. These can include physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts, as well as your awareness of your body in space and any “null zones,” areas where you lack sensation or awareness.

When we pay attention, without judgment, to all of your inner perceptions in the moment, the body can tell the full story of an injury, pain, or problem. Often, this story has some surprising roots. And by acknowledging them, much deeper healing or transformation becomes possible.

Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ-D) Therapy provides effective relief of joint-related pain and involves a gentle connection of tissue of the jaw muscles, neck, and shoulders. This treatment most commonly addresses clenching or grinding your teeth. In general, the muscles in the jaw and face respond quickly to treatment. It is very effective and simple.

The importance of stimulating blood circulation to help adjust the bite and regain functional movement to the original state before pain. TMJ-D can be treated when paired with the simple methods of targeting the nerves and muscles through repositioning and relaxation jaw massage.

Trauma-Informed Bodywork assists clients who have experienced trauma including, but not limited to, sexual, physical, and/or emotional abuse. Client-led sessions performed by a trauma-informed practitioner include gentle, intuitive touch given with extreme patience for what the client is comfortable with. Sessions include details (and informed consent) of everything that will be done ahead of time. The aim of every session is to build trust between the client and practitioner. Clients experience positive, non-sexual, healing touch on their terms without expectations of personal relationships.

Trigger Point Therapy consists of a variety of treatments designed to release pressure on the affected area, thereby allowing the knotted muscle to relax. The benefits of trigger point therapy are numerous. Not only is it effective in reducing headaches and muscle tension, but it can also improve range of motion and flexibility. Clients have found it successful in improving their posture and relieving pain.

Clients like that there is no medication involved; they can seek treatment during a lunch hour and not worry about driving or experiencing any side effects; it also reduces and may even eliminate the need for pain medication and opioids.

In the form of therapeutic massage, trigger point therapy can ease the source of pain via cycles of isolated pressure and release while the patient performs some deep breathing exercises, helping to improve blood circulation and release the constricted areas in the muscles.

Most importantly, trigger point therapy has found success in treating the pain associated with a variety of ailments, including arthritis, fibromyalgia, and musculoskeletal pain, to TMJ disorder, herniated discs and sciatica, even Parkinson’s disease and cancer.

Lymphatic drainage is a form of gentle movement over your body that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body. This promotes a healthy lymphatic system flow & general wellness.
