Manual Therapy

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, …

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.
