Thai Massage/Yoga Therapy-
This therapy is a series of interactive, flowing movements, stretches and rhythmic massage, along all the body’s energy lines and pressure points. The practitioner uses their body weight in order to move & stretch the client. This therapy can be both very stimulating and deeply relaxing! Cupping- This ancient therapy is used to soften tight muscles and tone attachments, loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue, bring hydration and blood flow to body tissues, move deep inflammation to the skin's surface for release, and drain excess fluids and toxins by opening lymphatic pathways. This therapy is incredibly versatile and the basic movements can easily be customized to accomplish a wide variety of techniques, from lymphatic drainage to deep tissue release. This technique complements medical massage, chiropractic, acupuncture, & physical and occupational therapies. Craniosacral Fascial Therapy- CFT is a very gentle, natural approach with powerful therapeutic effects. It is a therapy perfect for all ages! Craniosacral Fascial Therapy is the work of Dr. Barry Gillespie. It is based on his theory that the Craniosacral and Fascial systems are not separate but one interconnected system. CFT blends the two established modalities of Dr. William Sutherland's Cranial Sacral Therapy and John Barnes' Myofascial Release, along with dental techniques developed from Dr. Gillespie’s experience as a periodontist.
