Rolfing

Rolfing® is a form of manual therapy that provides specific, hands-on treatment to the connective tissue (which encompasses all the muscles, ligaments, nerves, organs, tendons etc.) to treat restricted movement patterns and chronic pain caused by injury or repetitive stress. It incorporates a combination of direct manual therapy with client education to encourage clients to regain a more active, comfortable and pain-free lifestyle.

    CranioSacral Therapy

    CranioSacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach to bodywork. The practitioner uses light touch on specific areas of the body including the skull, face, spine and pelvis to regulate the flow of cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds, nourishes and protects the spinal cord and the brain. Craniosacral therapy can be helpful for pain relief, neurological complaints, for stress reduction and for relaxation on a deep level.

      Massage Therapy

      Massage therapy dates back thousands of years, with roots in many different cultures. The term “massage therapy” includes many different styles and techniques in which the therapist uses varying degrees of pressure and manipulation to muscle and other soft tissue.

      Massage therapy is recognized by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health as effective to aid in stress relief and health maintenance. Massage is commonly used to ease muscle pain, relieve postural stress, soothe anxiety and depression, improve sleep, boost immunity and relieve headaches.

        Naturopathic Manipulative Therapy

        Naturopathic manipulative therapy, also known as NMT, is a form of physical medicine that incorporates a combination of soft tissue mobilization, touch and spinal manipulation to treat both structural and functional complaints. Naturopathic manipulations and mobilizations can treat several chronic diseases and injuries, providing relief from pain due to musculoskeletal injury and release of movement restrictions due to joint dysfunction.

            Shiatsu

            Shiatsu (指圧) (shi meaning finger and atsu meaning pressure), also referred to as acupressure, is a type of Japanese bodywork consisting of massage using pressure with the fingers and palms to specific points to relieve aches, pains, tension, and symptoms of disease. These points access energy pathways through the body and can be tender when the flow of energy is blocked. By manipulating those points the energy circulation gets enhanced. However, tender energy points are not usually where the complaint is. For example, to relieve a headache, points might be stimulated on the arms or legs.
