Therapeutic Bodywork

Service Description

Acupressure- A therapy that comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine which uses pressure from a finger or thumb on specific points on the body to encourage the free flow of energy, or chi. In TCM, all illness is based on energy. When energy is blocked or flowing too fast, it throws off the balance of the body. Acupressure has the ability to re-balance this energy which is helpful for everything from boosting your immune system to releasing blocked emotions. Cranial Sacral Therapy- The craniosacral system includes the skull, the cranial sutures, spinal cord, sacrum, and the cerebrospinal fluid. These structures are directly connected to every organ in the body by the nervous system. Trauma anywhere in the body may impact the craniosacral system, restricting normal movement and inhibiting the pulse of the fluids, specifically cerebral spinal fluid. CST uses a series of gentle techniques to remove blocks that may be preventing nourishment from getting to different areas of the body. CST uses gentle pressure and does not involve the manipulation or chiropractic “adjustment” of the skeletal system. The pressure used in CST is very light, about 5 grams of pressure or less – about the weight of a nickel. Energy work/Chakra balance- Our bodies are electric! We can see this when someone's heart has stopped and a defibrillator is used to "shock" them back to life. It is the electrical current that re-charges the electrical current of that person that gets their heart beating again. As electrical beings we create an electromagnetic field that surrounds us and is constantly interacting with the fields of others. Often what can happen is that this field can pick up other frequencies or become stagnated in areas. Energy work is a therapy in which the practitioner works on your electromagnetic field instead of your physical body. Although you won't feel physical touch, it is not uncommon to see colors or images, have distant memories come up, increase or decrease in body temperature, or feel complete peace. Reflexology- Our feet have over 27,000 nerve endings that all reflex to each tissue and organ system in the body. Similar to Acupressure, Reflexology uses the pressure of the thumb on these reflex points to stimulate energy and circulation to these areas. Reflexology has been shown to increase recovery times, boost the immune system, help to eliminate toxins, improve sleep, decrease PMS symptoms, and provide deep relaxation.
