CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY 

The craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.  It extends from the bones of the skull, face and mouth, along the spine to the sacrum or tailbone area.  Since this vital system influences the development and performance of the brain and spinal cord an imbalance or restriction in it can potentially cause any number of sensory, motor or neurological disabilities.  CranioSacral therapy is a gentle method of detection and correction that encourages your own natural healing mechanisms to dissipate these negative effects of stress on your central nervous system.

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

The lymph system is critical to our body’s ability to drain static fluids, detoxify, regenerate tissue and maintain a healthy immune system.  Unlike the blood circulation, which has the heart pumping its fluid, the lymph relies on hundreds of tiny muscle units to propel lymph flow.  In lymph drainage therapy, a very light touch is applied along the routes of this system to circulate the lymph fluid.

Lymph drainage therapy can be used to maintain good health or to treat specific conditions blocking lymph drainage at specific points of the body.  Advanced lymph massage can redirect drainage to reestablish flow where it has otherwise stagnated.  The most common use is post mastectomy or other breast surgery.
