Massage Therapy is a soft tissue manipulation (no skeletal adjustments) that has numerous benefits for physical & mental wellness. It increases fresh blood flow to muscle tissue, aides in blood and lymph circulation, which in turn, boosts your immune system. Massage allows the body to enter the parasympathetic (relaxation) response. When the body is in it’s parasympathetic response, healing happens. It can also help decrease muscle pain & increase range of motion in your joints. Most especially, a massage allows time for YOU to relax, clear your head, and connect with your body, mind and spirit, to sense your authentic and centered Self and gain perspective on your life.
CranioSacral Therapy is a very light and profound type of bodywork that addresses the body as a whole. It raises the vitality of the body and enables it’s self healing process to be utilized. The rhythm of the CranioSacral system can be detected in much the same way as the rhythms of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
