CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral is a gentle, hands-on touch therapy that assists the body’s natural healing mechanisms to dissipate the negative effects of stress on the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). It works with the CranioSacral system, comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Soft touch (no greater than the weight of a nickel) is used to release restrictions in this CranioSacral system to improve the functioning for the central nervous system. This in turn promotes the natural healing process, to support the immune system and is effective for many medial issues associated with pain and dysfunction.

CranioSacral Therapy is appropriate to treat:
• Migraine headaches
• Chronic Neck and Back Pain
• Motor-Coordination Impairments
• Colic
• Autism
• Central Nervous System Disorders
• Orthopedic Problems
• Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
• Scoliosis
• Learning Disabilities
• Chronic Fatigue
• Emotional Difficulties
• Stress and Tension-Related Problems
• Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders
• Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
• Neurovascular or Immune Disorders
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Post-Surgical Dysfunction

Frequency Specific Microcurrent

Microcurrent is a physical therapy modality that uses current in millionths of an amp to relieve pain, decrease inflammation, stimulate lymphatic flow, relieve myofascial trigger points, soften scar tissue and stimulate the regeneration of injured tissue.

How does it work? Your body uses the electrons from the current to increase its own energy production. Microcurrent increases the production of ATP, your own chemical energy , by up to 500%. It also increases the rate of protein synthesis, waste product removal, amino acid transport and wound healing.

How do the Frequencies work? Biological resonance. A singer can shatter a glass when the note resonates with the crystal structure of the glass. Microcurrent frequencies resonate with biologic tissue making healing changes in its structure.

Energy Psychology

Energy Psychology is a discipline of health that crosses mental and physical health. Healing methods associated with Energy Psychology include both modern techniques, and ancient techniques like yoga, acupressure, and qi gong.

Energy Psychology is based on attention to the three systems of the body’s natural energy:
• Energy pathways (meridians and related acupoints)
• Energy centers (chakras)
• Human biofield (systems of energy that envelop the body)
