Massage has been around for ages where ancient texts have described massage as being more than a relaxing rub down. Many ailments were treated using massage therapy. Massage has been shown to have many therapeutic affects. There are many different types of massage techniques that can be applied depending on what the practitioner and patient want to accomplish. In a spa setting the massage can be tailored more for relaxation. In a physicians office, physical therapy clinic or chiropractic practice massage can be tailored to compliment any treatments.

Massage therapy can be used to soften and calm muscle tension, help lymphatic flow, circulation, and induce relaxation. Our massage therapy is done here in our office in a quiet, safe and relaxing environment.

Kathy incorporates Cranio-sacral treatment which involves the therapist placing their hands on the patient, which allows them to tune into what they call the craniosacral system. By gently working with the spine, the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia the restrictions of nerve passages are said to be eased, the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord can be optimized, and misaligned bones are said to be restored to their proper position. Craniosacral therapists use the therapy to treat mental stress, neck and back pain, migraines, TMJ Syndrome and for chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia.

 Our special low PRICE for regular chiropractic and  therapeutic massage and Craniosacral is $45.00 per hour and $65.00 for 1 1/2 hour massage. Great deal, come in and check us out. 

The raindrop technique involves the amazing power of essential oils, mixed with a variety of massage techniques. The technique is designed to bring the body back into structural and electrical alignment. Often many types of spinal problems and misalignments are caused by toxins that lie dormant within the spine.
