Manual Therapy

The above slide show contains pre-covid images.
As you melt over The Body Bridge you are like frosting on a giant cupcake. 
​The techniques that I do are all gentle, yet they work very deeply in the body. They are meant to engage the deepest layers of connective tissue, the fascia, as well as the deep muscles (the ones that initiate movements), as well as the larger muscles that we are used to seeing.
​The names of the techniques in my toolset include Shiatsu, tuina, yin tuina, So Tai, gentle myofascial release consisting of stretches and following your body’s movement, craniosacral therapy which is also gentle stretches and holds but with feeling a rhythm of the cranial system, lymph drainage therapy which enhances fluid movement and maps it’s direction, visceral manipulation, and mechanical link, …
Patients ask me what makes the styles of bodywork that I do different than massage. 
My sponge metaphor

​Firstly, a great massage is awesome! We are all feeling good and pleasantly relaxed, I dont know about you, but I drool, and
afterwards I feel awesome like a rung out sponge with an attitude adjustment. After a short period of time we may notice that the same stressors activate the same postures and it is time for another massage. So we can feel gently rung out again.

Now if a massage is gently wringing us out like a sponge. My goal is simple, I want to change the characteristics of the sponge, like its absorbancy, (how you deal with stress on mental level), and it's structure like its cell size (Physically getting you to release adhesions to be able to move better.)

​They both work together. Not competing with each other.  That being said I have 2 caveats.
​1- Generally speaking, I recommend that after receiving manual therapy from myself or similar techniques that you wait a couple days before further massage or this type of work. 
Why?  
Light Touch Techniques generally are still working after an appointment is over for at least a couple days.
2- Both are fantastic prior to a standard chiropractic appointment to release the soft tissues.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture uses needles that are between .22-.25 mm thick. This is thinner than the average of 3 human hairs (The diameter of human hair varies from 0.017 to 0.1). We do this to increase blood flow, release fascial constrictions increasing nerve conductance and flow, acupuncture points have been show to increase neurotransmitter activity such as Nitrous Oxide (NO).

Acupressure, Heat and Light: No Needles!

Acupuncture point stimulation is done with a tool called a teishin,  or with finger tips. Neither puncture the skin. The teishin is a lighter stimulation and works on the points more energetically than the gentle pressure of the fingers. 
Cold Lasers, electric moxa and Tuning Forks are also used to stimulate acupuncture points as well as other tissues to diminish pain and other symptoms to improve your function.

Cupping & Gua Sha

Cupping uses suction (negative pressure) to stimulate a single area or multiple areas simultaneously. They can also be  moved providing a type of skin rolling massage. These techniques as well as one called Gua Sha which is a scraping of the skin (it is similar to another modality called Graston Technique) cause painless bruise looking colorations as the fluids that are trapped in the tissue are drawn to the surface to be reabsorbed over a greater surface area and the connective tissue has been stretched. These techniques help to decrease pain and stiffness.

Posture and Gait Analysis

I analyze your standing posture and your walk. Then I discuss with you how your posture and walk can be affecting your pains and vice versa. 

Hypnotherapy, Guided Visualization, Qigong

People are amazing, you are amazing, you heal, you breathe, you think, you learn, you guide. My mission is to get you to do these around healing yourself. This with nutrition is your homework to guide your immune system to your health. ​
