Myofascial Release Therapy is a gentle blend of specialised stretching and connective tissue unwinding to promote healing, release and pain relief. The therapy is based on the idea that poor posture, physical injury, illness and emotional stress can throw the body out of alignment and cause its intricate web of fascia (connective tissue) to become tight and constricted.
Myofascial Release treatments usually take one hour and will include a physical evaluation before the treatment itself, for which the patient will be unclothed. A series of treatments may be necessary, although relief may be obtained in one session and it is generally suitable for people of all ages.
Craniosacral Therapy helps to boost general well-being, reduce stress, improve quality of sleep, increase energy and enhance the functioning of all the body's organs. It is a non-intrusive therapy that works with the entire structure, physiology, mind and spirit.
For a treatment, clients usually lay on a massage table and the therapist works with the client fully clothed. It is a very gentle and profoundly relaxing procedure that lasts between 40 to 60 minutes. It is particularly suitable for those who have had head trauma and for treating babies & infants.
Myofascial Release and CST are often combined in the same treatment as they are more effective if given together for addressing most musculoskeletal problems.
