Visceral Manipulation
Visceral Manipulation is a gentle, hands-on therapy that helps your body's organs (viscera) regain normal mobility and motion. Organs can lose mobility due to physical trauma, surgery, illness, or poor posture. This gentle pressure encourages the normal movement of the organs and their connective tissues.
-
Benefits: This technique can help alleviate a wide range of issues, including musculoskeletal pain, digestive problems, post-surgical scar tissue, and altered movement patterns. By restoring organ function, we can often resolve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments.

Neural Manipulation
Neural Manipulation identifies and releases local nerve restrictions. Your nerves need to move freely within your body, but they can become "stuck" due to injury, inflammation, or other stresses. Our therapists use precise, gentle techniques to locate and release these restrictions.
-
Benefits: Releasing nerve restrictions can help resolve pain, numbness, tingling, and motor control issues. It is effective for conditions like sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other nerve entrapment syndromes.

CranioSacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a light-touch approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction. The therapist focuses on the craniosacral system—the membranes and fluid that surround and protect your brain and spinal cord.
-
Benefits: CST is effective for a variety of conditions, including headaches, migraines, chronic neck and back pain, and stress-related disorders. It helps to calm the nervous system, reduce pain, and improve your overall sense of well-being.

New Manual Articular Approach
This innovative approach addresses the joints (articulations) in a new way. Instead of just focusing on the joint itself, we evaluate and treat all of its components—including the nerves, arteries, ligaments, and surrounding structures that affect its function.
​
-
Benefits: This comprehensive technique helps restore joint play, improve mobility, and reduce pain associated with conditions like arthritis, joint stiffness, and post-injury limitations. It's a precise and effective way to improve your joint health from every angle.
