Acupuncture/Acupressure

Acupuncture and acupressure are methods of treatment that have been used in the Orient for thousands of years. They both use specific points on the body,which are connected by pathways or meridians. Acupuncture is a simple procedure administeredby inserting very fine needles into acupointsalong the different meridians. Acupressureuses the same points as acupuncture to treatthe patient. Instead of using needles, thepractitioner uses hands and fingers to placepressure on the specific points. Both techniques are effective in healing awide range of problems with little orno side effects.

Cranio-Sacral Therapy

Cranio-Sacral Therapy is helpful to most people in relieving complaints from minor aches to chronic health problems.The technique involves a gentle touch of the practitioner's hands for diagnosis and treatment.The practitioner is then able to discern patterns of motion in the body. Conditions affecting a person manifest as Cranio-Sacral restrictions to this motion. Through these patterns, many conditions can be diagnosed. With gentle manipulation, the practitioner can stimulate the release of Cranio-Sacral restrictions. This treatment awakens the self-healing systems in the body to return it to a more balanced state.

Bowen Soft Tissue Manipulation

Bowen Therapy is a simple and effective body balancing technique. It stimulates energy flow through gentle moves on soft tissues at key points. This releases tension, strains, and blockages, enabling the body's own resources to rebalance and heal itself. The treatments have an integrated effect on all the body's systems. There is no manipulation of hard tissue; it is gentle and safe. In many cases, long standing pain can be relieved in two to three sessions, although further treatments may be required. Bowen Therapy essentially assists the body's return to its normal, balanced state.

Neuro Emotional Technique (NET)

NET is a method used to normalize unresolved physical and/or behavioral patterns that have become "locked" in your body. These patterns, Neuro Emotional Complexes (NECs), result in unconscious reflex patterns - much like Pavlov's dog. These can manifest themselves as physical symptoms. NET practitioners help the body's own healing process by identifying and eliminating any unresolved NECs. Practitioners use kinesiology, body reflex points and reactions to assist and guide the patient to recall the emotion associated with his/her NEC. Then, the practitioner can assist in eliminating the NEC through a safe and quick physical correction.
