Craniosacral Therapy

What It Is:
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tension in the body by working with the craniosacral system (the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord).
Who It Helps:
- People experiencing chronic pain, migraines, or nervous system dysregulation
- Infants, children, and adults with sensory challenges or trauma-related tension
- Dogs with mobility issues or anxiety
Techniques Used:
- Gentle, sustained pressure on the skull, spine, and sacrum
- Nervous system regulation to promote relaxation and healing
Common Signs You May Benefit:
- Chronic headaches or neck pain
- Sensory sensitivities or overstimulation
- Stress or anxiety-related tension

Lymph Drainage Therapy

What It Is:
Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) is a light-touch technique that stimulates the lymphatic system, supporting immune function, detoxification, and fluid balance.
Who It Helps:
- People recovering from surgery, illness, or chronic inflammation
- Athletes looking to reduce muscle soreness and improve recovery
- Dogs with swelling or immune system issues
Techniques Used:
- Gentle rhythmic strokes to encourage lymphatic flow
- Detoxification support for the immune and nervous systems
Common Signs You May Benefit:
- Frequent illness or sluggish immune system
- Swelling or fluid retention
- Chronic congestion or sinus issues

Neurovascular Integration

What It Is:
This therapy supports the connection between the nervous system and vascular system, helping the body self-regulate more effectively.
Who It Helps:
- Individuals with nervous system dysregulation, anxiety, or poor circulation
- Those recovering from trauma, concussions, or chronic fatigue
Techniques Used:
- Gentle touch and movement to enhance brain-body communication
- Regulation techniques to improve blood flow and nervous system function
Common Signs You May Benefit:
- Poor circulation, cold hands and feet
- Anxiety or difficulty calming down
- Post-concussion symptoms

Infant Feeding & Oral Motor Therapy

What It Is:
This therapy strengthens oral muscles for improved swallowing, speech, and eating abilities.
Who It Helps:
- Infants struggling with latching or bottle feeding
- Children and adults with speech delays, tongue ties, or swallowing difficulties
Techniques Used:
- Gentle oral exercises to strengthen jaw, tongue, and lips
- Suck-swallow-breathe coordination training
Common Signs You May Benefit:
- Difficulty chewing or swallowing
- Speech difficulties related to oral motor function
- Jaw tension or tightness

MNRI Reflex Integration

What It Is:
Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI) is a specialized method that retrains and integrates primitive reflexes affecting movement and behavior.
Who It Helps:
- Children and adults with neurodevelopmental delays, sensory challenges, or motor coordination issues
Techniques Used:
- Hands-on exercises that stimulate the nervous system
- Specific movement patterns to integrate reflexes
Common Signs You May Benefit:
- Struggles with motor coordination
- Frequent emotional outbursts or anxiety
- Learning difficulties

Sensory Integration Therapy

What It Is:
This therapy helps individuals process and respond to sensory input in a way that supports focus, movement, and emotional regulation.
Who It Helps:
- Children, teens, and adults with sensory processing challenges
- Individuals with ADHD, autism, or vestibular (balance) difficulties
- Dogs experiencing overstimulation or anxiety
Techniques Used:
- Movement-based activities (swinging, spinning, jumping)
- Tactile play and deep-pressure techniques
Common Signs You May Benefit:
- Sensitivity to textures, sounds, or lights
- Difficulty sitting still or focusing
- Overwhelmed in busy environments

Fascial Release

What It Is:
Fascial Release works on the connective tissue (fascia) that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs. Restrictions in fascia can cause pain, tension, and movement limitations.
Who It Helps:
- Anyone with tightness from injury, surgery, or chronic pain
- Athletes and active individuals recovering from strain
- Dogs with mobility limitations or post-surgical stiffness
Techniques Used:
- Myofascial stretching and sustained pressure
- Hands-on techniques to release tension patterns
Common Signs You May Benefit:
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion
- Pain that doesn’t respond to traditional treatments
- Postural imbalances or movement restrictions
