CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress (among other things). It does this by optimizing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. This is a treatment for the whole body involving nonintrusive touch facilitating movement of the fluid membrane systems of the body and a resetting of the central nervous system performance through induction of a still point therapeutic pause in the craniosacral rhythm. I have studied with Dr. John Upledger of the Upledger Institute in Palm Beach Gardens, FL since 1986 and served on staff as teaching assistant.
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
