Staying well-hydrated before and after the therapy is important, as it supports muscle recovery, eases soreness, and assists in flushing out toxins released during the treatment.

Your first visit includes a comprehensive initial consultation where we discuss your health concerns and medical history. The goal is to understand your unique situation to determine the most effective approach and create a personalized plan of care.

Yes, my therapies are effective in treating various chronic pain conditions. The therapies aim to address the root cause of pain, providing long-term relief and improved quality of life.

Yes, many clients find that therapy complements and enhances their ongoing medical treatments, creating a synergistic effect. However, it’s crucial to obtain approval from your Primary Care Physician (PCP) before starting any therapy sessions. During your initial consultation, please be prepared to discuss your current treatments and medical history. This ensures that the therapies we provide complement your existing medical care and are conducted safely.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) uses gentle touch. You’ll typically lay on your back and remain fully clothed during the treatment. Please wear comfortable clothing to your appointment.

Most people describe the pressure as “good pain”. The pressure applied during therapy should help alleviate areas of discomfort, such as muscle spasms, trigger points, knots, and/or adhesions. At this point, it is extremely important to communicate with the therapist regarding the pressure – whether the pressure is too much, too little, getting better, getting worse. I will listen and respond accordingly. The pressure should never be overly painful.

Following a neuromuscular therapy massage, should you experience any soreness it should fade after twenty-four to thirty-six hours. The muscles that were tight should remain noticeably more relaxed.

After a massage, it is recommended to take an Epsom salt bath. Epsom salts aid in flushing out toxins and lactic acid from your muscles to help them recover, relax, and reduce muscle soreness. Add 1-2 cups of Epsom salts into a hot water bath and soak for 15-20 minutes.

Cupping may cause temporary bruising and soreness, depending upon the level of internal stagnation and the degree of suction created by the vacuum. Mild to moderate bruising may occur as stagnation is released, and connective tissue and muscles are loosened. This should resolve naturally over a few days. Upon request, using gentler cupping techniques can help prevent bruising.

After each therapy session, I provide guidelines on post-treatment care which may include self-care techniques, stretching, hydration and relaxation practices, and activity modifications. These recommendations are personalized to enhance your therapy benefits.

It is important that you disclose all medical conditions and medications you are taking in your intake form and update any changes at the subsequent appointments. 

You are encouraged to discuss the pros and cons of any treatment with your doctor before your visit.
