Cranio-Sacral is a technique for finding and correcting cerebral and spinal imbalances or blockages that may cause sensory, motor, or intelectual dysfunction.
Visceral Manipilation (VM) - this delicate Manual therapy focuses on the internal organs, their environment, and their potential influence on many structural and physiological dysfunctions. VM is based on the specific placement of soft manual
forces to enhance the normal mobility of the viscera (internal organs). The goal is to encourage the body's normal forces remove abnormal effects, whatever their sorces. The technique is as subtle as pervasive. The modern concept of VM is based on the pioneering work of the French osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral.
Postisometric Relaxation (PIR) is a positional technique, using muscular facilitation and inhibition. As it obviously acts on muscles with increased tension, it is advantageous for muscle relaxation, if there is muscle spasm an particularly if there are Trigger points. The good results can be significantly
enhanced by combining PIR with methods that affect the postural musculature as whole, such as eye movements, inhalation and exhalation
Muscle Energy Technique is positional technique that facilitates correction of biomechanical dysfunction by normalizing neuromusculoskeletal balance
Myofascial Release utilizes passive movement of the myofascial layers from superficial to deep. The purpose is to release muscle spasm, stretch abnormal fibrous tissue,
decongest the tissue, increase blood flow, and increase proprioception
Shiatsu and Acupressure are Oriental-based systems of
finger pressure massage which treat special points along acupuncture 'meridians', the invisible channels of energy flow in the body
BREEMA The ART of BEING PRESENT is a system that teaches us the practical steps anyone can take to unify the energies of mind, body and feelings and become present. It uses the body to connect us to the harmony of life as it actually is in the moment
The movement and postures of BREEMA partner bodywork and
Self-BREEMA exercises are profoundly comfortable and natural. Practiced with BREEMA's Nine Principles of Harmony, they lead us to a totally new experience of ourselves
AROMATHERAPY (AT) is a science and art that uses natural fragrant essential oils, herbs and plant extracts to influence the emotions and relax or stimulate the body reactions to them
TENS is generic name for a method of afferent stimulation designed to control the pain. This approach of nerve activation, often
called neuromodulation, is now well recognized for management of pain syndromes found
throughout the body. Due to technological advantages, there is now a variety of TENS units designed for specific modes
