Cupping

Cupping is an ancient Chinese form of massage therapy where glass, plastic, or bamboo cups are used to create suction on the skin’s surface. This mobilizes blood flow and allows for a deeper release during the massage.

Myofascial Release

“Myo-” means muscle and “fascial” is “a band or sheet of connective tissue, primarily collagen, beneath the skin that attaches, stabilizes, encloses, and separates muscles and other internal organs.” Fascia connects, supports and protects each of your muscles and internal structures. This connective tissue is densely woven around your entire body to connect everything from your head to your toes. Myofascial Release is a treatment to release the tension and stress on your Myofascial tissues.

CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach to enhance physical and mental wellbeing and health.  The Cranial-Sacral system is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This system extends throughout the body via nerves and connective tissue.

Visceral manipulation (VM) is sometimes referred to as organ massage. “Viscera” refers to the internal organs of the body. Using gentle manual therapy, a registered massage therapist will massage the abdomen and release tension stored up around your internal organs.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage detects the rhythm, direction, and quality of the lymph then using gentle techniques guides the fluid to the best possible pathway for drainage. An effective treatment after injury or illness.

Reiki is a spiritual healing practice that uses life force energy to return a person to balanced functioning on every level: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

The tape itself is hypoallergenic, latex-free, and can be worn for days at a time. Kinesio Taping became more popular during the 2008 Summer Olympics. It was donated to over 58 countries and was worn by very well-known athletes.
