Therapies

THERAPIES

CranioSacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy was founded by an osteopath, John Upledger. CST is practiced by osteopaths, chiropractors, massage therapists and other health practitioners. It is a subtle therapy that involves a light-touch from the skull to the sacrum and beyond, with almost undetectable movements.

The body is a self-correcting mechanism. Immune responses and inflammatory responses are indicators of the body trying to heal itself. CST enhances the body's own natural abilities to heal when trauma or disease processes become overwhelming for the system.

CST improves your body's ability to start the healing process for you. It has been shown to help a full range of pain and dysfunction, including:

ADHD, alzheimer's/dementia, autism, central nervous system disorder, chronic neck and back pain, chronic, fatigue, colic, depression, fibromyalgia,

hormonal, imbalance, insomnia, learning disorder, migraines/headaches, motor-coordination impairment, post-concussion symptoms, post-traumatic stress disorder, sacrum/hip pain, sciatica, sinusitis, spinal cord injuries,

stress and tension disorders, TMJ syndrome and many other conditions

CranoSacral Therapy for Children

CranioSacral Therapy for Children

NEWBORNS & INFANTS
With Caesarean section, the tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord shorten in reaction to the sudden pressure change between the womb and outside. Cranio Sacral Therapy assists in releasing these restrictions, so infants may access their resiliency. Cranio Sacral Therapy helps with release of torticollis, tongue-tie and/or lip-tie dysfunctions that may present after birth.

TODDLERS & CHILDREN
Toddlers often fall or have minor accidents, sometimes causing restrictions within their cranio Sacral system. Children can be affected by transitions such as new school, home move, family death, and parental separation, which may challenge their health and be treated by this holistic approach.

CHILDREN & TEENAGERS
Behavioral issues, learning challenges, hyperactivity and attention issues with children can be assessed and treated with Cranio Sacral Therapy. Cranio Sacral Therapy helps kids release anxiety from their nervous systems and become calmer. Emotional outbursts of post traumatic anger, grief, depression and sleep issues can all be helped with CST. Cranio Sacral Therapy has shown to help speed up healing with sports injuries, including concussions.

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic Massage Therapy is a style of massage therapy which focuses on getting results vs. just relaxing. Using this term indicates that the purpose of the massage is to achieve a structural change or therapeutic benefit in the body. It is style of treatment where massage therapists mobilize your soft tissue (muscles, tendons, fascia, etc) to restore normal functional use. You should expect to feel great long after your therapeutic massage session ends, instead of just relaxing for an hour.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is one of the oldest and most effective method of releasing the toxins from body tissue and organs. It is a practice in which the therapist puts special cups on the skin to create suction. This causes the tissue beneath the cup to be drawn up and swell causing increase in blood flow to affected area. Enhanced blood flow under the cups draws impurities and toxins away from the nearby tissues and organs towards the surface for elimination.

Some of the benefits of cupping therapy are:

Release scar tissue and fascial adhesions, reduce painful trigger points, improve circulation, blood and lymph circulation, relieve pain, promote mobility and range of motion, improves mature scars,

decrease toxins.

Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy is a non-invasive that uses photobiomodulation, which is a low-level laser therapy that delivers red and near-infrared light to areas of your body. In doing this, it helps regenerate (or grow back) cells, restore cell function and trigger blood flow. In turn, this helps to heal and relieve pain.

Red light therapy relaxes muscles, which relieves muscle spasms, pain and stiffness. It has a similar effect on joints, including relieving aches, pains and stiffness.

Its major benefits include improving joint mobility and easing muscle pain, arthritis pain, joint pain, muscle pain (including healing muscle injuries and reducing soreness after exercise), tendon pain (such as from Achilles tendonitis).

Some people also experience additional advantages, including improved sleep, less stress, reduced anxiety and relief from depression.

Ionic Foot Bath Detox

The ionic foot bath is based on the bioenergetics technology that creates an energy field similar to the human body’s. The principal is similar to how a magnet works, except in this case the magnetic force functions to help cancel out and eliminate harmful free radicals and other toxins from the body.

Ionic Foot bath is a foot soak that uses water charged with positive and negative ions – electrolytes – which helps draw toxins from your body out through your feet through a process of exchange between the positive and negative ions in your body, and their opposite numbers in the water.

Some of the benefits of an ionic foot bath detox include:

Improves the body's lymph circulation (similar to a Swedish massage), helps reduce and relieve migraines and headaches, can help improve and clear up skin conditions, increases natural energy levels, helps improve quality of sleep and relaxation, helps boost immune system

and helps fight off viruses, relieves muscle and joint pain and swelling, can assist weight loss.

Reiki Therapy

Reiki is derived from the Japanese words rei, meaning universal, and kei, meaning life energy. It is a Japanese healing art and a complementary energy therapy based on the principle that everything in the universe consists of energy that flows around and through living beings. Reiki proposes that disruption to this energy may cause health problems and seeks to restore the balance of the energy flow to a person by sending the energy flow received by the universe.

Reiki therapy may help with:

Relaxation and stress relief, activating the parasympathetic nervous system (reduced heart rate, reduced blood pressure, increased heart rate variability) pain control, reduced anxiety and depression and increased self-esteem and quality of life in people with chronic health conditions, enhanced well-being and sleep quality, symptom management in some conditions, such as cancer, stronger sense of connection with self and others, enhanced positive thinking.
