What is Fascia?
Fascia, or connective tissue, is a continuous web of deeply woven fibers surrounding and interpenetrating every bone, muscle, muscle fiber, organ, nerve, artery and vein in the body. It connects everything down to a cellular level. When healthy, fascia is light and pliable, and assists with movement and mobility. Old injuries, surgeries, physical and emotional traumas can damage the body’s connective tissue and cause fascial restrictions. The fascia then becomes hard and rigid, and restricts motion. The fascial system is like that of a spider web or a wool sweater. A restriction in one area can cause pain, discomfort, or strain on areas of the body that are far from the area of initial dis-ease.
What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release treats structural and soft tissue misalignments by addressing the body’s connective tissues. It consists of a variety of deep stretches and long sustained pressure. It can cause some discomfort during the process, but by going through it, you can overcome many different symptoms and ailments. Most clients compare it to a “good kind of hurt” or “the good part of a stretch.” Each technique takes a minimum of 3-5 minutes, and the body will continue to release and adjust for 3-5 days after a MFR treatment.

Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy consists of very light adjustments on the skull and along the spinal cord. The bones in the cranium are not fused together. They are actually separated by bits of connective tissue. This allows for a slight expansion of the skull as cerebrospinal fluid travels up the spinal cord and bathes the brain. The skull then contracts as the fluid slowly travels back down the spine to the sacrum. This constant flow of CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) creates a pulse, or rhythm, in the body that is unique and separate from the cardiac or respiratory flow. Old injuries, minor falls, surgeries and postural misalignments can all cause imbalances in this vital rhythm.Craniosacral Therapy has helped those with:
Migraines and Headaches
