Massage & Integrative Bodywork Corvallis, OR
Myofascial Release
Fascia surrounds every muscle, bone and organ in the body. It is a all-pervasive web of perception and response, constantly adjusting to it’s environment, be that physical, neural, or emotional.
Therapy involves perception of movement, restrictions and patterns of motion in the entire web of fascia - this can be contracting, pulling, circular, or pendulum-shaped. This can be around a wrist, up the neck into the head, or a larger area wrapping around the hip and into the opposite shoulder. By perceiving and following these movements, we can open a small, enclosing pattern into a more universal movement - the whole body moving as one free being!
This therapy supports recovery from injury, reduces tension headaches, and helps relieve chronic stiffness.
Craniosacral Therapy
The Cerebrospinal system encases the brain and spinal cord, the Central Nervous System. This system is in a constant, gentle, slow rhythmic movement as it perceives and responds to everything.
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) balances and relaxes the Central Nervous System by listening to these slow, subtle rhythms, gently releasing restrictions in the system, and encouraging free and robust circulation throughout. With the lightest of pressure, almost imperceivable adjustments awaken and engage the self-healing and balancing aspects of the self. The very gentle touch follows your body and helps resolve defensive responses.
This gentle therapy helps reduce headaches and migraines, ease stress and anxiety, and support recovery from trauma, surgery, or nervous system imbalance.
A session brings a sense of completeness, openness, and joy!
NeuroMuscular Therapy
Deep within muscles are Spindle Cells, sending nerve massages to trigger contraction - great for movement, not so much when a “feedback loop” occurs, and the muscle becomes chronically contracted. NeuroMuscular Therapy engages at the Neural Response Threshold of a muscle, slowly and gently expanding this threshold, allowing muscles to more fully relax and elongate, helping to release the cycles of contraction.
This targeted approach relieves TMJ and jaw pain, improves posture, eases migraines, and supports recovery from repetitive strain and chronic muscle tightness.
