Craniosacral Therapy
is an alternative medicine therapy used by osteopaths, massage therapists,
naturopaths, chiropractors, and occupational therapists. A craniosacral therapy session involves the therapist placing
their hands on the patient, which they say allows them to tune into what they call the craniosacral system. The practioner
gently works with the spine and the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia. In this way, the restrictions
of nerve passages are said to be eased, the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord is said to be optimized,
and misaligned bones are said to be restored to their proper position. Craniosacral therapists use the therapy to treat
mental stress, neck and back pain, migraines, TMJ Sydrome, and for chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia.
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines an array of strokes such as long fluid strokes,
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, and improved
flexibility.
Deep Tissue
Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve
tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. It is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas
due to misalignment, repetitive motion and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work; open
communication during the session is crucial to that the pressure is adjusted at the level of comfort while the therapy is
being done. Plenty of water should be ingested to aid the the flushing of toxins in the tissue that has been released
during treatment. Results of therapy are seen even days after the therapy session.
Sports Massage is designed highly for active people who engage or
train in athletics. Participation in sports can lead to injury so it is very important to consider therapy as an aid

encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
