We place equal emphasis on therapeutic and relaxation work.

Therapeutic work—most often found in clinical environments—mostly treats the musculoskeletal system, helping us overcome the discomfort and restrictions that acute and cumulative injury can leave us with. Manual therapy can address these issues, but often leaves us feeling sore and wanting care, because it is often applied too quickly, without enough attention given to the nervous system and how the work is received.

Relaxation work—most often found in spa environments—mostly treats the nervous system, helping us relax, destress, and reconnect with the signals our body is giving us. While this can be soothing, it can also leave us wanting more because in reconnecting us to our bodies, we become more aware of problem areas in need of therapeutic support.

We believe that in combining therapeutic and relaxation work—in applying manual therapy with the slower speed and nurturing attention to detail that spa work provides—we are functionally treating whole bodies. We also use heated flaxpacks and hot stones in problem areas to increase the effectiveness of our work, and offer postural education to those who want it. The overall effect is that of a deeply soothing tune-up that gives our clients the relief they need to more joyfully engage their lives and the knowledge they need to make more informed decisions about their care and how they use their bodies going forward.
