The practitioner will use a combination of manual therapy techniques including Osteopathic techniques(CranioSacral Therapy) and a type of acupuncture called Contemporary or Neurofunctional Acupuncture. CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on therapy focused on connective tissue restriction whether from postural issues, injuries or surgical intervention. Treatment of infants is offered for post-frenectomy, birth-related issues, sleep or digestive disruption. Acupuncture is done with sterile acupuncture needles an the application of electrical stimulation to help neuromodulate or adjust the nervous system to improve functional movement and nerve messaging.
The focus of the session is to assess precisely through palpation followed by treatment to improve return of function as opposed to chasing symptoms.
