Services

Cranio Sacral Therapy (Adult and Pediatric)

  • CraniolSacral therapy is a light touch modality that is performed with the client fully clothed and no draping is needed. The therapy involves gentile lifts of the cranial bones in the treatment of the cranial suture lines, dura mater/membrane system, cerebral spinal fluid, and other central nervous system structures. Because the nervous system essentially controls the entire body, the therapy is extremely versatile.

    The term CranioSacral Therapy is interchangeable with "Cranial Sacral Therapy". CranioSacral Therapy is a trademarked term by the Upledger Institute to show that training was completed through the Upledger Institute curriculum.

    We are currently treating all ages from newborn to geriatrics. All child and adolescent clients will be given the option to be evaluated for Retained Primitive Nerve Reflexes at their CranioSacral Treatment sessions as well as given integration suggestions.

    Technique Certified practitioner available.

  • Most sessions are scheduled at 60-90 minutes.

Visceral Manipulation

  • Visceral Manipulation is a gentle manual therapy that aids your body's ability to release restrictions and unhealthy compensations that cause pain and dysfunction. Visceral Manipulation, or VM, does not focus solely on the site of pain or dysfunction, but evaluates the entire body to find the source of the problem. The VM therapist feels for altered or decreased motion within the viscera, as well as restrictive patterns throughout the body and then applies VM techniques.

    This modality is done with the patient fully clothed and no draping required. Access to the skin of the abdomen will be required in most patients. Many maneuvers are done seated or in the supine position. Sessions may spend a great amount of time on the evaluation to make the treatment as precise as possible.

  • Sessions will only be scheduled for 60 minutes at 20-30 days apart to allow the body enough time to adjust.
