Who Can Benefit From Clinical Massage Therapy?

You can benefit when you have:

• any chronic muscle or joint pain
• a known condition of referred pain, such as "when my neck gets tense I get a headache"
• any recurring symptoms that seem to accompany or are precipitated by muscle tightness
• tight muscles that are limiting the mobility of a joint
• chronically fatigued muscles
• low energy level, especially when accompanied by muscle aches and pains
• a recent muscle injury that generates pain or dysfunction in areas not seemingly involved in the injury
• any visceral dysfunction that tests negative for conventional causes
• muscle pain that recurs in an area with no apparent new cause
• a tendency for pain to spread to other muscles whenever a simple strain or injury occurs
• Massage Therapy is not a cure-all. A competent therapist will advise you on its applicability to your symptoms.

What Types of Dysfunction Respond To Clinical Massage?

• Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction - pain and/or physiological dysfunction originating from identifiable points within muscles and their fascial tissues. These locations are known as trigger points because they often trigger distant reactions. Former White House Physician, Janet Travell, MD, and others have developed extensive maps of such referred pain.
• Fascial Plane Dysfunction - The body's own version of "Saran Wrap," fascia covers most of the body in large, continuously connected sheets. Injury, postural patterns and chemical imbalances can cause these sheets to distort and bind to themselves and nearby tissue. Since all major blood vessels and nerves follow these fascial sheathes through the body, properly aligned and released fascia is vital to good health and the proper operation of the circulatory and nervous systems.
• Neuromuscular Dysfunction - The smallest muscular activity requires that countless nerve impulses be sent to the muscle to be activated and to all of the adjoining and opposing muscles. As an example, in the simplest motion of flexing your elbow, you must tighten the biceps and other associated muscles while simultaneously relaxing the triceps and other associated muscles. The combined nervous activity and muscular response must be precisely timed and exactly proportionate.
  For more complex movements like rotating the head or taking a breath, the amount of coordinating activity is multiplied astronomically. Unfortunately, the mechanism responsible for such coordination can break down and muscle fibers or whole muscles can actually lock in opposition to their normal activity.

What is CranioSacral Therapy

• How is it performed? It is performed on a person fully clothed. Using a light touch - generally no more than the weight of a nick le - the practitioner monitors the rhythm of the craniosacral system to detect potential restrictions and imbalances. The therapist then uses delicate manual techniques to release those problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord.
• CranioSacral Therapy Session - A CranioSacral Therapy session can last from about 15 minutes to more than an hour, and the initial evaluation alone is often enough to correct a problem. The result? A central nervous system free of restrictions and a body that's able to return to its greatest levels of performance.
• What conditions does CranioSacral Therapy Address? CranioSacral Therapy strengthens your body's ability to take better care of you. It helps alleviate a range of illness, pain and dysfunction, including: Migraines and Headaches - Chronic Neck and Back Pain - Motor-Coordination Impairments - Stress & Tension-Related Problems - Infantile Disorders - Traumatic Brain & Spinal Cord Injuries - Chronic Fatigue - Scoliosis - Central Nervous System Disorders - Emotional Difficulties - Temporomandibular Joint Syndrone (TM) - Learning Disabilities - Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - Orthopedic Problems - And Many Other Conditions

What Are the Procedures Used In Clinical Massage?

• Neuromuscular/myofascial therapy - a method of carefully searching for and treating ischemic locations and the trigger points that are often the key factors in chromic and severe pain. This type of therapy is widely acclaimed and extremely successful in pain relief.
• Fascial release - very gentle, subtle manipulation of the fascial planes to release and normalize fascial sheathes. Because the subtleties of this therapy require a well-trained, sensitive therapist, few patients have previously been able to experience its benefits.
• Positional release - a very gentle release wherein the dysfunctional part is placed in position of complete, pain-free relaxation and allowed to normalize its function during a 90 second period of neuromuscular reorganization.
• Post-isometric muscle release - gently facilitated joint movement to assist a muscle in regaining a normal, relaxed length. The client actively participates.
• Energy release - passive touch used in such a manner as to help the client's nervous system release and normalize dysfunctional holding patterns.
• Swedish massage - a systematic application of procedures known to enhance circulation of blood and lymph (among other benefits).
