Manual Therapy... hands-on physical therapy
Manual physical therapy is a hands-on approach for fascia, nerves and joints. It includes specific techniques such as stretching, therapeutic massage, joint mobilization, visceral release, myofascial release, and craniosacral therapy. The goal of manual physical therapy is to reduce pain and restore movement and health.

Exercise
Manual therapy is complimented by exercise and exercise instruction to facilitate the body’s natural healing processes, to enhance postural strength, power, endurance and a feeling of well being.

KEY BENEFITS OF MANUAL THERAPY

• Decreased pain
• Improved Range of Motion

CranioSacral Therapy... a gentle healing practice
CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:

• Migraine Headaches
• Chronic Neck and Back Pain
• Motor-Coordination Impairments
• Central Nervous System Disorders
• Orthopedic Problems
• Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
• Scoliosis
