Craniosacral therapy
Craniosacral therapy uses gentle touch manipulation of your head, neck, and the bottom of your spine. Your neck, back, and hips will feel looser and freer. There may be some use of stretching with range of motion. The intent is to focus on maintenance of the nervous system without over stimulating acute immune responses. The cranial rhythm is an important rhythm to monitor in order to restore balance within the brain, as well as the body. This rhythm is important to overall health.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM) is a very gentle light massage (about the weight of two nickels) that helps to direct lymphatic fluid towards the lymph nodes. The lymphatic system controls immunity and inflammation in our bodies. Blockages in the lymphatic system can result in excess swelling in the body and possible disease progression. Some blockages are from toxic environmental exposures, old injury, traumatic event memories, and more. If you are recovering from surgery you should get cleared for Lymphatic Drainage prior to services.
Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient pastime that works on ailments of the body and mind through reflecting points in the extremities. It is a technique that focuses on specific nerve/ pressure points within your feet to help correct energy flows throughout your body. A sore hand or foot can provide details as to where on the body you are at most need for support. For example, a sore hand can be why the neck hurts, due to strain through posture.
