During your first visit we will be conducting a full postural evaluation, hands-on-treatment as well as show some proper home-care techniques to help enhance pain recovery.
John F. Barnes Approach to Myofascial Release®
Myofascial Release is a gentle hands-on therapy that applies gentle “pressure” or “stretch” to areas of tightness. It is performed directly on the skin without the use of oils, creams or lotions. This prevents any “sliding” from happening when treating the area of concern. Each hand placement is sustained for at least 5 minutes until the tissue releases.
​
Upon release, pressure is removed from pain sensitive structures allowing freedom of movement and improved posture. This approach has uncovered the cause of most pain and dysfunction that is invisible to standard medical tests.
Myofascial Cupping
Offered with silicone or plastic cups applied directly to the skin to help alleviate pain, increase local circulation and improve well-being. Can be used as a stand-alone service or paired with other treatments.
*Please note: cupping may cause bruising*
Dr. John E. Upledger CranioSacral Therapy CST
A light-touch, whole-body treatment method developed by John E. Upledger, DO, OMM; works with the body's CranioSacral System to support and nourish the Central
Nervous System – improving overall health and well-being.
This gentle hands-on approach releases tensions deep within the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole body health. With very light touch, restrictions can be released in the soft tissues surrounding the CranioSacral System, which includes membranes and CSF fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord. Various locations of the body are tested for ease of motion and rhythm. Overall, it is about connecting the nerve roots in the body to its surrounding connective tissue.

Therapeutic Breast Massage
Breasts hold deep significance in our lives, symbolizing femininity, sexuality, and the ability to nurture. However, the experiences and sensitivities tied to them can sometimes cause us to forget that, at their core, breasts are simply body tissues with the same ordinary needs as any other part of our body.
​
Many individuals have scars which cause breast pain, 'pulling', and the development of pockets of swelling. Treatment is focused on specific massage and drainage techniques that help to increase blood flow, decrease toxins, release muscle tension, provide recovery from any breast trauma and benefit your particular breast concerns.
