Connective Tissue Massage (CTM) is a dynamic approach to bodywork that releases myofascial restrictions. It is the most effective massage method available, relieving chronic tension, producing greater ease and efficiency of movement, improving posture and increasing body awareness. Fascia is like plastic cellophane that encases every muscle and organ and is interconnected throughout the body. Adhesions in the fascia can restrict movement and compromise postural integrity. CTM releases patterns of chronic fascial adhesions, restoring optimum posture, movement and function to the musculoskeletal system. When you receive CTM, make sure there is no oil or lotion on your skin. Recommended attire is a loose-fitting pair of athletic shorts and a sports bra for women.

Neuromuscular therapy involves releasing "trigger points" which are areas of little or no circulation Ischemia and an excess build-up of toxins such as lactic acid. These areas of adhesion can entrap nerves and cause radiating pain. Neuromuscular therapy will involve working the entire muscle and insertions for a much longer lasting result. This will release the sustained contraction of the muscle and toxins within.

Sound has the power to soothe, invigorate and inspire us and aids in clearing blockages and muscular knots. The "Harmonic Massage from Hippocrates" combines the sound vibrations of OM, used for centuries to bring healing energy and a deeper state of relaxation, with points and meridians from the art of acupuncture. These two powerful modalities form a treatment that is both uniquely relaxing and remarkably effective.
