Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress (among other things). It does this by optimizing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. Developed by physician William Sutherland, and further refined by John Upledger, DO, this therapy provides a very soothing and relaxing healing experience. Every patient experiences the benefits of CranioSacral Therapy at the end of every treatment; it is too important to be left out. Current research shows CST helping with dementia and Alzheimer patients as the cerebrospinal fluid nourishes the brain and CST reduces inflammation that is the underlying cause of memory loss and nerve damage.
Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain. Dr. Wanona coauthored the AMTA publication, Fundamentals of Fascial Therapy.
Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression. The Egyptian Method of Reflexology is the most gentle form of reflexology and works on the feet, hands and ears. Advanced reflexology practice also includes Facial Reflexology; gentle pressure on points of the face effect the entire body and the face takes on a youthful appearance.
