Your fascia is amazing! Come give it some attention with a Myofascial Release session

Once upon a time, fascia was severely underestimated.

Previously thought of as basically just packing material, protecting our more important structures, it's now known that fascia plays a vital role in movement, immune function, and is our largest bodily organ, with the greatest capacity for sensation.

We have a rare opportunity! Ashley has a couple of openings for Craniosacral Therapy upcoming weeks.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a type of manual therapy that uses a very light touch to align the skull, fascial bones, spine, and other bones. It works to remove restrictions and issues with our craniosacral rhythm.

This type of gentle therapy is great for people with:

Chronic pain,

TMJ,

Headaches,

Anxiety

Other neuromuscular issues.

What should you wear? Shorts and a tank top or loose comfortable clothes.

How long will my appointment last? 60 minutes.

Do I undress like a massage? No, CST is done over the clothes.

How should I expect to feel? Sarah explains that after CST she feels lighter, more energetic, has less pain and overall feels a pep in her step, or like you got your groove back.

We have a few openings in the upcoming weeks:

Wednesday, June 11th at 6:15 pm

Tuesday, June 17th at 6:15 pm

Friday, June 20th at 5:30 pm

Call to schedule 989-859-5898 or use the link in the comments.
