Myofascial Release Therapy
This is a gentle, hands - on technique where no oil is used. The connective tissue is like a web from our head to our toes and surrounds, supports, and protects all structures in the body. Gentle stretching of the connective tissue can assist with impaired function and posture of the body; encouraging a healing effect on the body tissue, decreasing pain, and increasing mobility.
CranioSacral Therapy
A whole mind body approach is used to improve function of the body. The Craniosacral system is comprised of the membranes and the cerebrospinal fluid & spinal cord. It is a gentle, subtle & yet profound way of assessing & treating restrictions in various areas of the Craniosacral system & the body. As it is a whole body approach you may find you notice changes in areas seperate from your present pain centres.
Polarity Therapy
This is a form of treatment that endeavours to release tension and energy blocks within the body, in order to restore balance to the body's subtle energy field. Using gentle or heavier, deeper contacts and rocking motions, the energy field is awakend and encouraged to restore equilibruim. It promotes wellbeing, mental & emotional clarity, self healing; & integrates the body, mind and spirit.

What to expect in a treatment for Craniosacral, polarity & Myofascial release therapy
The client remains fully clothed & the sessions are at least for an hour. You may feel heat, pulsations, tingling, or other sensations. These are relaxing & subtle forms of treatments. The effects are not always felt straight away. The treatments are not a quick fix; rather a process of your ability to access your inner healing mechanism.
Generally 4 - 6 treatments are recommended, as it may take some sessions to feel how your body responds.
