Raindrop Aromatherapy - This technique involves dropping essential oils onto the spine and working them in using light finger strokes. Raindrop Therapy stimulates energy impulses along the nervous system and throughout the whole body.
Cranial Sacral Therapy -
Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch, hands on therapy that focuses on bringing the Cranial Sacral System (CSS)into balance. It uses the wave like rhythm created by the filling and emptying movement of cranial fluid to help the practitioner feel and free holding patterns. This technique can provide profound relief for clients whose problems might not easily release with more direct muscle focused massage techniques. It is also simply one of the most relaxing body work modalities out there. Give it a try you'll be glad you did.

Update: Yesterday I was lucky enough to find time in the schedule to get in for a massage with Heather Glen our new LMP (Licensed Massage Practitioner). I have to say, don't you all just love those heating pads we use. I'm always a little surprised by just how hot they get even through the blankets. (So please do let us know if it ever gets too hot - it's OK to pipe up), but anyway I digress. What I wanted to talk about was cranial sacral therapy. Generally when I have CS it has been still point activation - where the practitioner holds points at the base of the skull until you feel like you are floating. But what Heather did was pretty unique. She was finishing up working on my left leg when I mentioned I had sprained it back at the end of January and it was still a bit enlarged. She asked if she could try some CS on it. Of course, always one to try anything that might help, I said sure. And so she began gently palpating and holding my ankle. It didn't take long before I could feel subtle shifting in the layers of tissue and her hands got really hot (not a prerequisite for CS but fun to notice), It's a subtle sensation but very enjoyable if you can just breath and go with it. There is pain but not sharp pain, again if you just breath..... At any rate it was a great session and left me ready for hill repeats at track practice last night with no problems from my ankle.
