Available Therapies
Myofascial
Release Therapy is a gentle blend of specialised stretching
and connective tissue unwinding; Myofascial Release Therapy uses
hands-techniques to affect the entire body to promote healing,
release and pain relief. The therapy is based on the idea that poor
posture, physical injury, illness and emotional stress can throw the body
out of alignment and cause its intricate web of fascia (connective tissue)
to become tight and constricted.
The skillful use of the hands in Myofascial Release
Therapy is said to release disruptions in this fascial network that links
every organ and tissue in the body with every other part. Pressure on the
bones, muscles, joints and nerves is relieved in the process, and balance
is restored. The release of tension once the body has responded to the
therapy allows more functional flexibility and mobility of the muscles,
fascia and associated structures. Release may also facilitate the emergence
of negative or repetitive emotional patterns, which have interfered with
the healing process.
Myofascial Release treatments usually take one
hour and will include a physical evaluation before the treatment itself,
for which the patient will be unclothed. A series of treatments may be
necessary, although relief may be obtained in one session and it is
generally suitable for people of all ages.
Craniosacral
Therapy is a hands-on healing technique, whereby therapists
gently mobilise and release the craniosacral system, which includes the
soft tissue of the head (cranium), the spine down to its tail end (the
sacral area) and the pelvis. It focuses on the movement of the
cerebrospinal fluid, which is produced and absorbed by the body and in
particular, the irregularities in the flow of this fluid.
The movement of spinal fluid within and around the central nervous system
is believed to create a vital body rhythm, equally important to health and
well-being as the beating of the heart or the breath. This therapy may be
of benefit in many areas, including hyperactivity, cerebral palsy, dyslexia
and stress related problems.
CST helps to boost general well-being, reduce stress, improve quality of
sleep, increase energy and enhance the functioning of all the body's
organs. It is a non-intrusive therapy that works with the entire structure,
physiology, mind and spirit. For a treatment, clients usually lay on a
massage table and the therapist works with the client fully clothed. It is
a very gentle and profoundly relaxing procedure that lasts between 40 to 60
minutes. It is particularly suitable for those who have had head trauma and
for treating babies & infants.
Myofascial Release and Craniosacral Therapy as Remedial
Therapies are often combined in the same treatment as they are more
effective if given together for addressing most musculoskeletal problems.
