"Massage has had a positive effect on

Massage Therapy is recognized as effective to improve circulation, induce relaxation, deepen breathing, release tension, speed injury recovery, improve digestion, and decrease swelling. A study published in Dec. 2007 demonstrated that massage "significantly improved patient pain and anxiety after major surgery." A Massage Therapy session can be dedicated to relaxation, focused on specific injuries or conditions, or can be a blend of both. Each client receives a uniquely personalized session using techniques and depth of pressure most appropriate to his or her needs and treatment goals.
CranioSacral Therapy is especially effective for stress reduction and chronic pain relief, including but not limited to headache, migraine, and back pain. Done with the client fully clothed and without oil, CranioSacral Therapy is a very gentle technique to help detect and correct imbalances that may cause sensory, motor or neurological dysfunction. People who cannot tolerate the pressure of massage often respond well to this therapy. This is excellent work to receive during pregnancy. Sheryl and Chris were trained and certified in CranioSacral Therapy by the internationally recognized Upledger Institute based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Chris has completed the Upledger Institute's rigorous advanced training. He specializes in this work.
