Designed for active individuals, this focused treatment targets key muscle groups in the back and legs to support performance, recovery, and injury prevention.

John Barnes Myofascial Release is a hands-on technique involving applied gentle and sustained pressure into fascial connective tissue restrictions. This allows the viscoelastic fascia to elongate and release. Beyond relieving chronic pain and restoring mobility, this whole-person approach recognizes that fascia holds the imprint of physical and emotional trauma, and treatment can facilitate profound emotional releases as the body lets go of long-held restrictions.

A gentle yet powerful, non-invasive approach to addressing chronic and acute health conditions. Bowen Therapy treats your body as a whole, employing precise maneuvers to engage the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Nerve receptors are activated during the unique movements of the "Bowen Technique", which changes the internal dialogue of the nervous system. This activation affects the relationship between the nervous system and the fascia, muscular alignment, normalizing joint function, supporting the lymphatic system, and can change a pain/muscle spasm loop. This technique promotes neuromuscular re-patterning and restoring balance throughout your body.

The Bowen Technique and CranioSacral Therapy are both gentle, non-invasive therapies well suited for infant physiology. They consist of gentle stretch/release of specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system and improve integration of the associated tissues. The points are typically on postural muscles, facial and connective tissue junctions and nerve bundles. As babies and toddlers are in a constant growth state, Bowen/CST can be helpful, non-invasive approaches to address torticollis, TMJ dysfunctions and feeding concerns and digestive support.

Research done in the 1970’s by Dr. John Upledger and biophysicist Zvi Karni led to the discovery that the body often retains the emotional imprint of physical trauma. These “imprints” of intense feelings (anger, fear, resentment) that may have occurred at the time of injury leave residues, restrictions and pain in the tissues of the body. Purely emotional trauma or stress also create physical restrictions and pain in the tissues. Through Somato-Emotional release, the therapist engages in imaging and dialoguing techniques combined with gentle manual techniques to guide the client through an otherwise challenging encounter with long held emotions. The client does not need to analyze the problem in order to release it from the body. As these imprints/restrictions are released, the body is free to return to its optimal level of functioning.
