The most important joint in our body is not what most people think of as a joint, it doesn't look like an elbow, knee or ankle. Our spine connects to our hips and to our skull, our nervous system is enclosed in our spine and skull, and is so easily influenced by the muscles surrounding this complicated system. We don't think too much about the joints in our skill either, they fit together like the teeth of a zipper, with massive muscles running from the top of our head all the way down along our neck to our chest and upper back. If these joints and muscles are out of whack, might that effect the functioning of our brain and nervous system? YES!!! Though this work feels very light, it's impact and effect are profound.

The most important joint in our body is not what most people think of as a joint, it doesn't look like an elbow, knee or ankle. Our spine connects to our hips and to our skull, our nervous system is enclosed in our spine and skull, and is so easily influenced by the muscles surrounding this complicated system. We don't think too much about the joints in our skill either, they fit together like the teeth of a zipper, with massive muscles running from the top of our head all the way down along our neck to our chest and upper back. If these joints and muscles are out of whack, might that effect the functioning of our brain and nervous system? YES!!! Though this work feels very light, it's impact and effect are profound. We do not just work on your head, but follow the entire line of your nervous system to your hips, coaching the body to release restrictions in tissue and ease back into natural circulation. Every system in our body is full of lymph (including our brain), a protein-rich immunity compound that both protects joint mobility and circulates waste out of our various systems. Clogged lymph can lead to swelling, fever, headaches, restricted joint mobility, rash and ache, indigestion, uro-genital complications, reduced immunity and ineffective healing. These modalities are blended together in the Osteopathic Whole-Body approach to bring your nervous system back into homeostasis. No lubricants are used nor will you be asked to disrobe. Kinesiotape, gentle cupping, cleansing/circulating essential oils and ear seeds may be applied for chronic lymphatic conditions. 60 and 90 minute sessions are available.
