Myofascial Release:
Fascia is a web-like sheet of connective tissue that exentds from the top of the head to the tips of the toes. In Myofascial Release, the therapist uses a very light touch to soften and stretch the fascia.
Myofascial release can be effective in reducing or eliminating pain and increasing or restoring motion to tissue that has been affected by stress, injury or illness.
Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CST):
The cranio-sacral system consists of themembranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This system has its own pulse, which can be felt throughout the body-more strongly in the cranium and sacral regions-by a trained CST therapist.
The therapist palpates the craniosacral pulse using very light pressure to enhance body function, help alleviate pain and dysfunction, and encourage the body's own natural healing mechanisms to reduce the effects of stress on your central nervous system.
