Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
CranioSacral-Fascial Therapy is a gentle yet powerful modality that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress (among other things), and also has the benefits of providing myofascial unwinding, which helps release restrictive patterns in the body at a deep level for lasting results.
The therapist trusts in the innate intelligence of the client's body to heal and correct itself with the proper support and sense of safety provided by the therapist in a session. By being able to fully relax and feel into areas of tension, the client accesses a freedom to let go and benefit from simple, structural and intuitive techniques applied to start the process of unwinding, which is always nothing more or less than "just what the client needs," or what is "perfect for them in that moment" to start experiencing more freedom and better functioning in their body.
The cranio-sacral aspect of this work optimizes the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. This therapy modality was developed by Dr. Barry R. Gillespie.
