Phil is a CS1 practitioner educated through The Upledger Institute International, and a Medallion Member of the International Alliance of Healthcare Educators (IAHC).

Cranio-Sacral Therapy is a remarkably effective light touch therapy that can help to create dramatic improvements in one’s health and well-being. It releases tension deep within the body, relieving pain and dysfunction, improving whole body health and performance. 

Cranio sacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on technique used to evaluate and enhance the functioning of the cranio sacral system — the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It is used to promote healing and balance in the central nervous system and the body as a whole.

 Core Principles of Cranio sacral Therapy:
	1.	Gentle Touch
Practitioners use light touch, generally no more than the weight of a nickel (about 5 grams), to assess the rhythm and motion of cerebrospinal fluid and tissue.
	2.	Craniosacral Rhythm
CST is based on the belief that the craniosacral system has its own subtle rhythm, which can be felt and corrected when imbalances or restrictions are present.
	3.	Whole-Body Approach
CST works with the central nervous system, affecting all systems of the body — musculoskeletal, endocrine, respiratory, and more.


✅ Potential Benefits:

Craniosacral therapy is often used to support recovery from or manage:
	•	Headaches and migraines
	•	Chronic neck and back pain
	•	TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorders)
	•	Stress and tension-related disorders
	•	PTSD and emotional trauma
	•	Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue
	•	Sleep disturbances
	•	Infant colic and birth trauma

 What Happens in a Session?
	•	The client remains fully clothed, usually lying on a massage or treatment table.
	•	The practitioner gently places hands on the skull, spine, sacrum, and other areas to detect tension or blockages.
	•	Subtle manipulations aim to release restrictions in fascia (connective tissue), restore fluid flow, and calm the nervous system.
	•	Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes.


 How Does It Work?

Though still debated in conventional medical circles, CST is believed to:
	•	Release restrictions in soft tissues that surround the central nervous system
	•	Improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid
	•	Restore balance to the autonomic nervous system
	•	Facilitate the body’s natural healing processes


⚠️ Cautions and Contraindications:

CST is very gentle and generally safe, but it may not be appropriate for people with:
	•	Recent traumatic brain injury or skull fracture
	•	Acute aneurysm
	•	Active bleeding in the brain
	•	Raised intracranial pressure

Always consult a healthcare provider before beginning any therapy if medical conditions are present.

Greta and Phil offer Orthopedic-Medical Massage.  
Orthopedic Medical Massage is a specialized form of massage therapy that focuses on treating soft tissue injuries, chronic pain, and conditions related to the musculoskeletal system,  incorporating techniques to increase range of motion.   It’s often used as part of a medical or rehabilitative treatment plan and is particularly helpful for individuals recovering from injuries, surgeries, or dealing with chronic pain conditions.
. We will assess and prioritize the areas of the Upper or Lower body that are affected and work with specific orthopedic techniques. Others, such as Myofascial Release MFR, Neuromuscular Technique NMT, Active release, muscle energy technique MET, and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation PNF, are used to increase range of motion. 

? Key Features of Orthopedic Medical Massage
	1.	Assessment-Based Treatment

Orthopedic/Medical massage (pain relief)

This is a specialized therapy that instantly relieves pain. It is thought to have the ability to "tricking" the brain into resetting the communication with the area of tension, allowing the folded muscle fibers to relax and straighten out. Neuromuscular Therapy is perfect for treating chronic muscle tension and pain. It treats conditions such as:
- Chronic pain on muscles
- Chronic tension caused by old injuries or bad postures
- Pain and restriction caused by tightened muscles
- Unexplained muscle and joint pain
- Muscles prone to cramp and spasm as well as many more.

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)

The Clinical MFR is a gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain, bring circulation and restore motion. Fascia is a connective tissue that encompasses the muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels and organs of the body. The neuromuscular technique goes to the root of the problem and releases chromic pain.

Myofascia Release (MFR)

If you are in need of a deep muscular work deep tissue massage is indicated for tension relief and relaxation.

Deep tissue massage (tension relief)

Swedish Massage helps release muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote full-body relaxation through soothing techniques tailored to your needs. It’s ideal for reducing stress, improving flexibility, and enhancing overall well-being.

Swedish massage can be defined as the use of classic massage techniques to manipulate soft tissue for relaxation and holistic therapeutic purposes. 
The techniques used within Swedish massage are four main movements that are used to soothe and improve muscle condition, improve circulation, and help you feel relaxed.

Swedish is a Relaxing Massage that helps maintain physical, mental and emotional well-being. It stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system and promotes a sense of relaxation and calmness. 

Common massage techniques used during the massage include: Effleurage, Kneading, Frictions, Tapotement, and Vibrations. These four movements are called effleurage, petrissage, kneading, and tapotement.

Effleurage (also known as stroking) –  This movement is usually made towards the heart and increases the blood and lymph flow whilst also relaxing the patient.
Petrissage –from French Petrir meaning to knead) is traditionally linked with the kneading movement. This compression movement helps to eliminate waste products among many other benefits.
Kneading – This is a deep movement that can be applied to many parts of the body; the action is very similar to that of kneading bread.  The kneading action can improve elasticity and flexibility by creating movement between muscle bands.
Tapotement – These are fine vibratory movements that can be applied with the fingers or hands, working very quickly and rhythmically. 
Hacking – This movement is applied with the edge of the hand (in a slightly relaxed position) with the fingers slightly spread apart, to create a vibration effect when the hand strikes the surface.  

Why opt for Swedish massage?
There are many benefits that Swedish massage provide, such as:

- Pain Management
- Relaxation
- Increased circulation
- Decreased fatigue
- Reduction in Anxiety and depression.

 It has also been said that one hour of full body massage is equivalent to 8 hours of a good night's sleep.

If you don't know what treatment you need, choose this one and the therapist will help you with the right treatment for your specific needs.  The therapist will discuss your health's needs, will customise the session by using several modalities or massage techniques and  make a wellness plan for you to get you back to balance. 

This massage involves working on deep tissue and soft tissue of the body.  We customise the massage to help reduce the build-up tension, sooth worked muscles, and promote relaxation. The custom massage helps maintain physical, mental and emotional well-being. It stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, and improve blood circulation and muscular tension.

Customised therapy

Investing in Thai Yoga stretch experience is an investment in yourself.  No matter your flexibility now, we can help you reach your goals.

Traditional Thai Yoga Stretch involves a series of stretches.  The therapist will tailor a Thai stretch according to the client’s individual needs: this means that it is very likely that no two treatments will be exactly the same.

Assisted Stretching is for every age group, every lifestyle and every body. Whether you’re a gym junkie, desk based office worker, or even a couch potato, everyone can benefit from stretching, and stretching correctly. 

The stretches aim is to work on the client’s back, shoulders, arms and legs to increase joint mobilization and release tension. The movements are fluid, slow and controlled, putting the client in a pleasant meditative, relaxed state.

A pre-workout stretch warms up your muscles, can reduce risk of injury and boost your performance. 

A post-workout stretch speeds recovery by flushing out metabolic waste, increasing blood flow and lengthening muscles that have just been contracted.

On top of it all it’s super relaxing. 

Benefit of Thai Yoga Stretch therapy:
- Stretching helps increase ROM - giving you more freedom of movement.
- Improved flexibility can make everyday activities easier.
- Stretching energises, encourages blood flow, and increases key muscle group recruitment
- Lengthen tight muscles that pull parts of your body out of their intended positions
- Encourage blood flow to muscles, reducing stiffness and soreness.
- Promote relaxation by decreasing muscle tension, calming the heart rate, and regulating breathing.

What should I wear?
Anything you are comfortable in, and isn’t too restrictive. What you would wear to work out in is a simple answer. Your therapist will move you into some open positions so please ensure you are concealed.

Prenatal Massage has many benefits.  Your body undergoes some fundamental transformations including postural and hormonal changes, along with an increase in plasma and blood volume. Even your organs shift position as your pregnancy develops. Together, these effects can put significant pressure on the body, particularly on the spine, neck and weight-bearing joints.

A growing body of research indicates that regular Prenatal Massage provides a safe, drug-free, relaxing way to minimize and relieve the common discomforts of a developing pregnancy. Pregnancy Massage can improve not only your own physical and mental wellbeing but also that of your baby.

Prenatal Massage is both safe and beneficial for the majority of mothers-to-be. You can start after the first trimester of pregnancy.

There are some instances when massage may not be appropriate, particularly in a high-risk pregnancy or with certain health conditions (diabetes or morning sickness for example), so we always advise checking with your doctor or midwife first. 

Pregnancy Massage is performed on your side with pillows for support – this provides the most stability for the baby and is also most comfortable for you. The massage table is also designed to be propped up so that you can be on your back in a semi-seated position. It can also be elevated at the legs to reduce swelling.

Prenatal Massage is usually gentler than many other massage techniques. We often focus more on techniques that aid the circulatory and lymphatic systems, to help ensure a healthy flow of blood and reduction of feet swelling, and effective removal of toxins and waste.

Prenatal massage therapy is for those in not high risk pregnancy and can be gotten once you get approval from your Doctor.

Prenatal massage therapy

Thai Yoga bodywork is an ancient healing system and art that combines dynamic assisted stretching Yoga posture, gentle pressure along energy lines to relax the whole body. Traditional Thai massage uses no oils or lotions. The recipient remains clothed during a treatment. There is constant professional body contact between the giver and receiver, but rather than rubbing on muscles, the body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked and the energy blockages are release.

By compressing, stretching and manipulating the body, powerful healing forces are released to ease pain and stress, and correct postural alignment.

This massage is beneficial for anyone that wants to open up the flow of energy in their body and loosen up muscles tension, relieve pain, and gain more flexibility and balance.
