CranioSacral Therapy, or CST, is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the cranio-sacral system- comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord, and the membranes and sutures in the skull. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the cranio-sacral 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, including:

• Migraine Headaches
• Chronic Neck and Back Pain
• Motor-Coordination Impairments
• Autism
• Central Nervous System Disorders
• Orthopedic Problems
• Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
• Scoliosis
• Learning Disabilities
• Chronic Fatigue
• Emotional Difficulties
• Stress and Tension-Related Problems
• Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders
• Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
• Neurovascular or Immune Disorders
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Post-Surgical Dysfunction and Pain

In addition to being extremely effective in the treatment of chronic issues, Cranio-Sacral therapy is very relaxing. Many recipients report a greater sense of calm and centeredness after a single session. This treatment is typically performed with the client wearing comfortable clothing and remaining face up for the entirety of the session.

Reflexology is a modality typically performed on the feet, and occasionally on the hands and ears. Based on zone theory, Reflexology follows a “map” of the human body that is represented on the soles of the feet, palms of the hands and the entire ear. By working specific “reflex” points on the map, reflexology works the entire body and its organ, muscular, glandular, nervous and skeletal systems. It is a great way to introduce the body to massage can be very relaxing and is therapeutic and non-invasive. Reflexology is a great way to gently detoxify the body and can re-energize the mind and spirit as well.

Thai Massage is sometimes called “Facilitated Stretching” or “The Lazy Person’s Yoga”. Thai massage is performed on a padded mat on the floor. During a Thai massage, you are fully dressed; wearing comfortable clothing, and no oil is applied. Thai massage is more energizing and rigorous than more classic forms of massage. Stretching, supported twists, muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure are all techniques utilized used during Thai massage. This treatment is wonderful for restoring flexibility, alignment of the joints, assisting greater posture and range of motion in addition to all the benefits of a regular massage.
