Holistic Massage
Holistic or Swedish Massage is a systematic form of touch which has been found to give comfort and promote good health and a sense of well-being.
Massage affects you on all levels of your being. Physically, its benefits include relaxing and toning your muscles: assisting the venous flow of blood; increasing the hemoglobin level; encouraging the lymphatic flow, and stretching the connective tissue of joints. Holistic massage also affects the energy centers of the body.
On the mental level, massage not only relieves stress, tension and anxiety, it also helps create a heightened consciousness of one's body as a whole, leaving the patron with feelings of well-being, trust and joy.
Deep Tissue massage includes a variety of techniques for working the deep tissue fibers of the muscles and connective tissue. Raney uses a holistic approach to releasing chronic pain and fascial constriction through understanding of the interrelationship of nervous musculo-skeletal anatony. Deep tissue massage reveals trigger points and referral zones, includes assessment of structural alignment and musculoskeletal patterns, and manipulation of the deep tissue fibers through muscle stripping, cross fiber and stretching. Cross fiber is a technique for powerfully stimulating the myofascial tissue and breaking up adhesions and congestion in the tissue fibers.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a dynamic body work system based on the Oriental methods. Shiatsu or Acupressure relieves stress related problems, both physical and emotional Also known as Full Body Reflex, it is an ancient healing art that presses key points on the surface of the skin along the meridian pathways to stimulate the bodys natural self-curative abilities. When pressed, these points release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the bodys life force to aid healing. Acupressure is effective in helping relieve headaches, eyestrain, sinus problems, neck pain, backaches, arthritis, muscle aches, tension due to stress and more. By relieving stress, acupressure strengthens resistance to disease, promotes wellness and relieves pain and discomfort before it develops into a dis-ease Acupressure is a way to balance the body and maintain good health. The healing touch of acupressure reduces tension, increases circulation, and enables the body to relax.
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive technique of manipulation which encourages your own natural mechanisms to improve the functioning of your brain and spinal cord, to dissipate the negative effects of stress, and to enhance your general health and resistance to disease.
The craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It extends from the bones of the skull, face and mouth, which make up the cranium, down to the sacrum, or tailbone.
Dr. John Upledger, osteopath, physician and surgeon, has been the chief proponent of using the craniosacral system to evaluate and treat problems associated with pain and dysfunction for nearly 25 years. His research has led to the development of a light-touch manipulative therapy that has been effective in treating poorly understood dysfunctions, chronic pain, lowered vitality and recurring infections.
The positive effect of Cranio Sacral Therapy relies, to a large extent, upon the patient's natural self-corrective physiological activities. The therapist's light, hands-on approach assists the hydraulic forces inherent in the craniosacral system to improve the body's internal environment.
Visceral Manipulation
Visceral Manipulation is a manual therapy which uses light, specifically placed pressure to encourage normal mobility, tone and inherent tissue motions of the viscera and their connective tissues. For proper dynamic functioning there must be a synchronicity between the motion of all internal organs and their neighbors. These manipulations have the potential to affect the physiological function of individual organs, the systems they function within and the structural integrity of the entire body.
Raney uses manual skills to locate, evaluate and normalize primary areas of dysfunction within the abdominal cavity, particularly the liver. Mobility and motility are addressed.
