Neuromuscular
Therapy

Neuromuscular Therapy is the treatment of
chronic and acute pain in the muscles and joints caused by trigger
points, ischemic tissue and neurovascular entrapment. Specificity
both in the techniques applied and in the attention paid to each muscle
involved distinguish this effective therapy from other types of bodywork. |

Pilates
|
 |
Imagine
having the figure of a dancer and the strength of an athlete; a
long and healthy body with beautiful posture and grace of movement
powerful, flexible and controlled. That's a Pilates body!
In
10 sessions you'll feel the difference, in 20 you'll see the difference,
in 30 you'll have a new body. Joseph Hubertus Pilates
Pilates
is taught as Solos or Duets on our Reformers and other pieces of
equipment. (Mat classes are for both Basic and Intermediate groups.)

Mind-Body Exercise |
 |
The
creation of a personalized exercise program to gain muscular strength,
balance, flexibility, mental focus, cardiovascular endurance and
functional ease with awareness of the mind-body connection is the
goal. All exercise disciplines can be applied to a home-based program.
Active Isolated Stretching
is the first step in the rehabilitation process and is the base
for every good fitness regime. Pre-and postsurgical conditions are
profoundly helped by working the deep connective tissue of the joints.
Athletes improve performance dramatically and those with repetitive
postures or movements find relief from the muscle strain.
Pilates sessions using
spring-resisted equipment builds core strength while conditioning
the entire body. It is expecially helpful for posture and back problems.
Yoga is time-honored for
its benefits. Therapeutic instruction is offered in private and
semi-private sessions for those with special needs including limited
flexibility, osteoporosis, stroke-related limitations, mental challenges,
cancer, and disabilities.
(Classes are held in Pilates,
Yoga and Mindfulness.) |
| Energy Healing |
 |
All of our therapists believe in
the importance of balanced and properly charged energy systems in
the creation of healthy, pain-free bodies. Two have had specific and
extensive training and are graduates of the 4-year program at the
Brennan School of Healing. A healing consists of a chelation which
balances and charges the chakras and energy field. It also includes
specific work to repair damage from physical or emotional factors.
The result is increased well-being and the ability to engage more
fully in your life. |
| Watsu |
 |
Watsu is a gentle form of aquatic
bodywork that integrates the buoyant properties of water with the
stretches of shiatsu to promote healing and relaxation on a physical,
emotional and spiritual level. To know what Watsu is, it must be experienced.
Free your body in water....it is an experience like no other. |
| Aquatic Therapies |
 |
Our 4 foot deep hydrotherapy pool is available
for a variety of uses. A swim jet, massage heads, fitness “toys”
and bubbles are some of the choices available for exercising or relaxing.
Temperature can be adjusted quickly with advance notice. Try Watsu,
underwater massage, aquatic fitness, hot bubbles, or just float in
a quiet pool gazing at the sky. |
