CranioSacral Therapy

Therapeutic massage uses a variety of techniques to manipulate the muscles, soft tissue, and joints of the body. These techniques are designed to reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. The massage therapist may use their hands, elbows, forearms, and even feet to apply pressure to the affected areas. Therapeutic massage is used to treat physical and emotional. It is a holistic approach to health care that focuses on the body as a whole, rather than just treating the symptoms of a particular problem. It can treat various conditions, such as chronic pain, headaches, stress, anxiety, depression, and more.
