Massage is great for supporting proper function and recovery from most any physical condition, even the ones you might not usually think of, including: carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, headaches, and many more!.

General Wellness

Massage triggers relaxation in the body and calms breathing while easing muscle tension. It improves sleep quality, reduces anxiety, and supports circulation within the body. It helps to provide an overall sense of comfort and well being and supports many other healthy practices like exercise, nutrition, and chiropractic. Massage is an essential and vital part of an ongoing healthy and active lifestyle.

CranioSacral Therapy
  
CranioSacral Therapy is a light-touch therapy that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction. It can also improve whole-body health and performance.

Every day, you endure stresses and strains and your body absorbs them. Your body can only handle so much tension before tissues begin to tighten and can affect the brain and spinal cord. This can compromise function of the central nervous system.

  
CranioSacral Therapy releases tensions and allows the entire body to self-correct. The therapy starts with a gentle touch--about the weight of a nickel. This makes it perfect for everyone from newborns to those in their 100s.
