Massage
 
Massage serves to restore the natural rhythmic movement between the bones of the skull and the sacrum. The purpose of this is to aid the circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid throughout the central nervous system.

This massage utilizes a combination of pressure and assisted-stretching techniques. The treatment stimulates the circulation and the flow of lymphatic fluid, releases toxins and deep-seated tensions from the muscles, supports both the hormonal and immune systems, and acts on the autonomic nervous system, allowing the individual to relax deeply and to get in touch with his/her own healing power.
