Upledger's CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy (CST), developed by John E. Upledger, DO, OMM, is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of the craniosacral system — the physiological body system comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. CST enhances the body’s natural healing processes to improve the operation of the central nervous system, dissipate the negative effects of stress, enhance health and strengthen resistance to disease. The method generally requires only five grams of pressure — the equivalent weight of a nickel — to test for restrictions in various parts of the craniosacral system. Often the evaluation alone will help solve the presenting problem.

Barnes' Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release (MFR), developed by John F. Barnes, PT, is safe, gentle and consistently effective in producing positive and lasting results. Myofascial Release is a very effective hands on technique which provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain, headaches and to restore motion. The theory of Myofascial Release requires an understanding of the fascial system (or connective tissue).
