CranioSacral Therapy (CST)
CST is a manual therapy approach that releases tension deep in the body and the central nervous system (your brain and spinal cord) to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole body performance.
​
Everyday you endure stresses and strains and your body absorbs all of them through the fascial web. Unfortunately, your body can only handle so much before the tissues tighten, potentially affecting the central nervous system and thereby almost every other system in your body. CST releases these tensions held deep within the body to allow the body the relax and self-correct.
CranioSacral Therapy techniques differ from Myofascial Release techniques in that they use very gentle, light touch, about the weight of a nickel. This light touch allows for assessment of the body's deepest fascial layers, those that surround your brain and spinal cord. Restrictions in this system can then be released to allow your nervous system to function at its best. The combination with myofascial release elevates your care to a whole new level for comprehensive healing of the body.
Myofascial Release (MFR)
MFR is a broad set of techniques used by physical therapists and other health care professionals to relieve pain and improve physical function through manipulation of the fascial network. Fascia is a connective tissue system found throughout the body and is the most abundant tissue in the body. It is the one system that touches all other systems in a 3-dimensional web similar to that of a spiders web.
​
This system stretches from head to toe without interruption and in the normal, healthy state is relaxed and well hydrated giving us the ability to stretch and move without restriction. With injury or trauma (a large umbrella that excompasses things like surgery, auto accidents, falls, prolonged poor posture, mental and emotional abuse) fascia loses its pliability. It dehydrates and begins to stick to everything it surrounds ultimately causing pain, limited mobility, and a loss of function. Science has proven that when restricted, fascia can place up 2000 pounds per square inch of pressure on things like our muscles, organs, nerves, spine, bones and joints.
​
MFR allows a therapist to engage this three dimensional system and manipulate it, thereby releasing adhesions and restoring the body's normal healthy balance for improved health and quality of life.
Stone Medicine
Stone Medicine is a healing modality developed and used by the Ancient Chinese and Daoists. Stones and crystals have the unique ability to help where other modalities cannot. They not only allow for healing at the physical level of conditions in the here and now, they also have the ability to cross into the planes of spirit and matter to heal emotional wounds and trauma across all time and space. Due to their physical properties, composition and frequencies they carry, the healing potential of stones and crystals is truly unlimited.
​
There are several uses for the stones and each technique has its benefits depending on the issues being addressed. Stones may be placed on, and/or around the body as part of your treatment session. Special elixirs or formularies may be created to assist your treatment goals as well.
​
If you are looking to heal at levels that transcend the physical body crossing into the planes of heart and spirit, then Stone Medicine is what you seek. This medicine is the most powerful and potent for those who have heard the call of the stones. If you've found yourself drawn to them, it is likely because they are ready and waiting to assist you!
