INTEGRATIVE TACTILE THERAPY
Integrative tactile therapy combines techniques with the goal to help the body’s normal forces remove abnormal effects. The intensity of pressure used varies dependant upon the structure, depth, function and health of the tissue.
These techniques
- Facilitate a heightened healing state for the body to self repair.
- Encouraging your own natural healing mechanism to enhance cellular repair and rejuvenation of organs.
- Improve the functioning of your organs.
- Dissipate the negative effects of stress.
- Slow the aging process of your organs.
- Enhance general health and resistance to disease.
Integrative tactile therapy can assist with the improvements of symptoms such as:
- Migraines & Headache
- Chronic Neck & Back Pain
- Fibomyalgia & Myofacial Pain Syndrome
- Emotional Difficulties
- Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome, (TMJ)
- Joint Pain
- Chronic Fatigue
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Digestive Disorders
- Reflux
- Stress and Tension - Related Problems
- Repetitive Stain Injuries
- And Many Other Conditions...
When making an appointment you may wish to book in for an integrative session or specify your prefered modality listed below. I have also included information about your body which may be of interest to you.
I look forward to meeting you.

REMEDIAL MASSAGE
Remedial massage is the combination of various massage techniques with the intention to release tight muscles and ligaments of the body.
Tight muscles can impinge on nerves causing pain, muscle weakness, and send noxious signals to the areas the nerve supplies.
Tight muscles can restrict the flow of lymph, therefore restrict the removal of toxins and waste products from the affected area.
Bone is slave to muscle, thus tight muscles can pull on their attachment to the bone, over time this can pull the bone out of its natural alignment causing pain and may create further problems such as osteophytes, commonly known as spurs, osteophytes often press on nerves causing constant pain.
Remedial massage techniques include:
- Deep tissue,
- Trigger point,
- Myofascial release,
- Lymphatic drainage.
If your work or life style instigates tight muscles, consider regular remedial massage which has the capacity to reduce your susceptibility to permanent damage, and therefore avoiding surgery or constant pain management medication in the future.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Craniosacral therapy is a light-touch manual therapy that addresses restrictions in the craniosacral system -the membranes and fluid that protect the brain and spinal cord.
This vital system extends from the bones of the skull, face and mouth, which make up the cranium, down to the sacrum, or tailbone area.
Since the craniosacral system directly impacts the central nervous system, it‘s easy to see how an imbalance there could cause any number of sensory, motor or neurological disabilities.
CranioSacral Therapy helps correct those restrictions so the body can release the effects of stress, naturally.
HOW IS CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY PERFORMED?
CranioSacral Therapy is performed on a fully clothed body. Using A light touch, the therapist monitors the rhythm of the craniosacral system to detect potential restrictions and imbalances. The therapist uses delicate techniques to release those problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord. The result a central nervous system free of restrictions. And a body that is able to return to it’s greatest level of performance.
WHAT CONDITIONS DOES CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY ADDRESS?
CranioSacral Therapy strengthens your body’s ability to take better care of you. It helps to alleviate a range of illness, pain and dysfunction, including:
- Migraines and Headache
- Chronic Neck and Back Pain
- Motor Co-Ordination Problems
- Infantile Disorders
- Reflux
- Chronic Fatigue
- Scoliosis
- Central Nervous System Disorders
- Emotional Difficulties
- Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
- And many other conditions.
Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Release are gentle and effective forms of therapy for infants, children and adults.
SOMATOEMOTIONAL RELEASE
Have you ever had an injury that seemed to plague you long after the site had healed?
That’s not as unusual as you might think. Even when varies bodywork releases restrictions in body tissues, sometimes a release of emotional energy is necessary to fully discharge a trauma.
The body often retains the emotional imprint of physical trauma. These imprints, especially of intense feelings that may have occurred at the time of injury-anger, fear, resentment- leaves residues in the body in areas called “energy cysts“.
Although you can adapt to these energy cysts, over time your body needs extra energy to continue performing its day to day functions. Then as years pass and the body becomes more stressed, it can lose its ability to adapt. That’s when symptoms and dysfunctions begin to appear and become difficult to supress or ignore.
Through SomatoEmotional Release, the tissues of the body relax as the energy cyst is expelled. You do not need to analyse the problem to release it. The body is free to return to its optimal levels of functioning.
VISCERAL RELEASE
Visceral release is a therapy that focuses on the internal organs, their environment, and their potential influence on many structural and physiological dysfunctions.
The visceral system relies on the interconnected synchronicity between the motions of the organs and the structures of the body. At optimal health, this harmonious relationship remains stable despite the endless varieties of motion. But when the organ cannot move in harmony with its viscera due to abnormal tone, adhesions or displacement, it works against the body’s other organs and muscular, membranous, fascial and osseous structures. This disharmony creates fixed, abnormal points of tension that the body is forced to move around. And that chronic irritation, in turn, paves the way for disease and dysfunction.
Imagine an adhesion around the lungs. It would create a modified axis of that demands abnormal accommodations from nearby body structures. For example, the adhesion could alter rib motion, which could then create imbalanced forces on the vertebral column and, with time, possibly develop a dysfunctional relationship with other structures
HOW IS VISCERAL RELEASE PERFORMED?
Visceral release is based on specific placement of soft manual forces to encourage the normal mobility, tone and motion of the viscera and their connective tissues. This gentle therapy can potentially improve the functioning of individual organs, the systems the organs function within, and the structural integrity of the entire body.
HOW DOES VISCERAL RELEASE HELP YOU?
Visceral release is used to locate and solve problems through out the body. It encourages your own natural mechanisms to improve the functioning of your organs, dissipate the negative effects of stress, and enhance general health and resistance to disease.
ORGANS & MOVEMENT
Generally organs are not considered in movement, however, if they are adhered to another structure they can inhibit or reduce the strength and range of movement possible.
For example the caecum and the psoas muscle. The caecum is a little cul-de-sac where the small intestine meets the large intestine at the right hip in front of the psoas muscle. If the caecum adheres to the psoas muscle, this can reduce your strength of lifting the right leg, reduce range of stretch, and can cause pain. Digestion maybe agitated too, as the caecum is the area of a high absorption of electrolytes which are essential to the normal function of all cells, and involved in metabolic activities, and electrochemical impulses in nerves and muscle cells. Freeing the caecum from the psoas can facilitate both structures to return to there optimum function.
CONNECTIVE TISSUES & MEMBRANES
Surrounding each organ is a membrane of connective tissue (similar to the membrane around meat) which secretes a fluid, coating the surface so that organs can slide past one another without causing friction. Restrictions and adhesions reduce the production of the lubricating fluid, movement now creates friction, further aggravating the area. Over time this can create dysfunction and pain.
RESTRICTIONS & ADHESIONS
A restriction is a decrease in motion of a structure. An adhesion is the sticking together of layers of tissue, both resulting in reduced movement.
Restrictions/adhesions can be caused by;
- Impact injuries or injuries of repetitive movement that place strain on the body.
- Infection, usually causes cellular injury, as the tissue heals it is often adhered to nearby tissue.
- Trauma, emotional or physical.
- Surgery.
If a structure or an organ is reduced in its capacity to move, the fluid exchange between the cells can also be reduced. Fluids contain energy in the form of blood, oxygen, nutrients, chemical messengers, and is essential for the removal of waste products from cells.
FREEING RESTRICTIONS
This is achieved by specific placement of soft manual forces to encourage the normal mobility, tone and motion of the affected regions and their connective tissues. This gentle therapy can potentially improve the functioning of individual organ, the systems the organs function within, and the structural integrity of the entire body.
SURGERY
All surgery creates adhesions. The process of the tissues healing from the cut involves laying down collagen fibres with a tendency to bind up different layers of tissue. This can limit the movement of multiple structures.
When an organ can no longer move in harmony with its neighbours because of abnormal tone, adhesions or displacement, it begins to work against its neighbours. This sets up a course of chronic irritation in the body and paves the way for disease.
An example is a Caesarean, as the wound heals the layers of the abdominal muscles can adhere, this can interfere with achieving tone and strength of the abdominal muscles.
The uterus can adhere to the peritoneum -the large sheet of connective tissue that surrounds the majority of the abdominal organs- this may cause tension and dysfunction to the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, liver, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bowel, kidneys, and can be the source of lower back pain.
PRE & POST SURGERY
Integrative tactile therapy before and/or after surgery can facilitate the body’s;
- Flow of fluids which provide nutrients and waste exchange on a cellular level,
- Lymphatic system,
- Reduce inflammation,
- Reduce scar tissue/adhesions.
COMPENSATIONAL CHAINS
When you stand, sit, walk, run or jump, pressure is transmitted throughout the body.
However transmission of the pressure is dimished in a restricited area and disturbs the balance of this primary area forcing other areas to adapt.
When the primary region can no longer withstand the added strain, a second region will adapt, and then another and another. A chain of compensation is therefore created.
Adaptation is the bodies way to compensate for the restrictions and adhesions. Left unattended, these compensations become potential restrictions within themselves, and often a chain of compensations is created to maintain survival. This may be with or without discomfort.
When the body can no longer adapt, the symptoms can appear, and because of the compensational chain, it can appear in a seeminlgy unrelated body structure.
Sharee has a range of skills to assist your to body free itself from the compensational chains, facilitating the body to return to its natural state of health and energy.
TRAUMA
Trauma can be physical and/or emotional.
A physical trauma can be from a car accident, a fall, surgery, burns, recreational or medical drugs, infection, or difficult childbirth.
An emotional trauma may be deep shock, loss, sadness, stress, abuse, violence, which can result in physiological manifestations and dysfunction.
The traumatic event may be recent or in your childhood and can remain for a long time.
During a traumatic event whether it be physical or emotional, energy is ‘injected’ into the body and/or psyche. Part of the energy will deform the physical body, another part of the energy will be dispersed as heat, and the remainder of the energy is stored in the tissues as residual energy, known as ’energy cysts’.
Healthy bodies can adapt. However, over time, the body can become fatigued, and loses its ability to adapt. That’s when symptoms, pain, dysfunctions, and disease become difficult to suppress or ignore.
FREEING FROM TRAUMA
With skilled palpation energy cysts are located and released from the body. Sometimes an emotional energy that may have occurred at the time of injury, such as anger, fear, resentment, is also resolved.
INFANTS & CHILDREN
No journey in life is as complex as the one that brings us into it. Childbirth can be a wonderful experience, unfortunately for some it may be long, complex and difficult, yet it barely compares to the shock and potential long term effects in store for the child.
Thankfully there is a way to sooth your baby that offers even more than comfort and relief. It is a gentle form of compassionate touch called craniosacral therapy, and it can help forge a lifetime of good health. QUALIFICATION DETAILSACCREDITATIONS:
