Attention! ... if you have pain or are stiff and have low energy...
Myofascial Release (MFR) and Craniosacral Therapy (CST) are gentle forms of stretching and balancing that have a deep, profound effect on the body's deep tissue. A WHOLE body / mind approach is used with myofascial release to reduce pain, restore movement, improve energy and function. All therapists are highly specialized and trained in this holistic therapy - myofascial release, which is the most effective form of bodywork available today.
Treatment / myofascial massage sessions usually last one hour. Treatment plans differ, and are designed unique to each person. They typically involve one to three visits per week. For particularly complex situations, an intensive - daily sessions - or even sessions involving multiple therapists - can be arranged

Depending on your "out of network" coverage, office visits may be insurance reimbursable.
