Rolf Structural Integration
Rolfing SI is a manual therapy that seeks to relieve tension and pain through soft tissue manipulation and movement cues. The Rolfer and the client work together to address structural adhesions in the fascia. This can sometimes bring an awareness of movement inhibitions from past injury or conditioned patterning. All of this brings a body into more harmony with the ever present force of gravity by stacking its parts to work efficiently. With a naturally aligned body comes freedom from pain and more joy in life in general.
Massage
Swedish Massage is extremely therapeutic as it decreases muscle toxins, increases oxygen levels in the blood, and improves flexibility. Pressure is applied to the client's comfort level to induce relaxation, as well as soften tight, painful muscles. Benefits include better sleep, better balance, reduced anxiety, quicker recovery from injury, relief from pre or post natal pain, or post surgery.
Gua Sha
In Gua Sha, the skin is pressured, in strokes, by a round-edged instrument. This extravasates blood and metabolic waste congesting the surface tissues and muscles, promoting normal circulation. Gua She is valuable in the treatment of chronic trigger point pain in muscles and fascia.
Cupping
Cupping involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed, as well as stretch the superfiscial fascia, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair.
