They include approaches like Shiatsu, Biodynamic Cranial Sacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation (Internal Organ Treatment), Manual Medicine, NeuroMuscular Reeducation (Feldenkrais and Trigger Point), Lymphatic Drainage, and Brain/Spine Integration. Hot Stone Massage is included in the specialty category, more because of the uniqueness of the approach rather than the targeted areas it effects.

Most of these modalities have their roots in Osteopathy and were developed by physicians. Treating on these levels have a direct effect on the musculo-skeletal system.

Recent studies estimate that up to 90% of musculoskeletal issues arise from internal organ or gut issues. Many fascia, nerves and blood vessels are shared between these structures and if something effects one, the other areas will also be effected.

Settling issues in the abdomen, pelvis and chest will help chronic problems with back, hip, shoulder and other joint issues immeasurably! It will also serve a much calmer nervous system, peace of mind, and an easier digestive experience. It is not to be missed! Combine it with a massage and you'll be a convert forever.

Choice of Vinyasa, Gentle, Yin, Prenatal, Hatha, or Thai Yoga

The word hatha means willful or forceful. Hatha yoga refers to a set of physical exercises (known as asanas or postures), and sequences of asanas, designed to align your skin, muscles, and bones. The postures are also designed to open the many channels of the body—especially the main channel, the spine—so that energy can flow freely.

Hatha is also translated as ha meaning "sun" and tha meaning "moon." This refers to the balance of masculine aspects—active, hot, sun—and feminine aspects—receptive, cool, moon—within all of us. Hatha yoga is a path toward creating balance and uniting opposites. In our physical bodies we develop a balance of strength and flexibility. We also learn to balance our effort and surrender in each pose.

Hatha yoga is a powerful tool for self-transformation. It asks us to bring our attention to our breath, which helps us to still the fluctuations of the mind and be more present in the unfolding of each moment.

Imagine your spine lengthening, your hips opening, your shoulders releasing, all without your doing a thing. Ah, this is the bliss of a Thai yoga massage, an ancient healing art that is said to date back to the time of the Buddha. Thai massage can feel like a nurturing, effortless yoga practice in which your partner moves your body in and out of postures, enticing your muscles into gentle stretches and your mind into deep relaxation.

Legend has it that the practice began in India more than 2,500 years ago, then migrated to Thailand, where it was performed in temples and regarded as a spiritual practice.

Vinyasa means "breath-synchronized movement," and Vinyasa yoga is a series of poses that will move you through the power of inhaling and exhaling. Vinyasa movements are smoothly flowing and almost dance-like, which explains why it is sometimes referred to as Vinyasa Flow or just Flow.

From the Mayo Clinic:

"If you're pregnant and looking for ways to relax or stay fit, you may be considering prenatal yoga. Good for you! But did you know that prenatal yoga may also help you prepare for labor and promote your baby's health? Before you start prenatal yoga, understand the range of possible benefits, as well as what a typical class entails and important safety tips.

What are the benefits of prenatal yoga?

Much like other types of childbirth-preparation classes, prenatal yoga is a multifaceted approach to exercise that encourages stretching, mental centering and focused breathing. Research suggests that prenatal yoga is safe and can have many benefits for pregnant women and their babies.

For example, studies have suggested that prenatal yoga can:

Improve sleep
Reduce stress and anxiety
Increase the strength, flexibility and endurance of muscles needed for childbirth
Decrease lower back pain, nausea, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches and shortness of breath
Decrease the risk of preterm labor, pregnancy-induced hypertension and intrauterine growth restriction — a condition that slows a baby's growth."
