Kineso-taping, Craniosacral Therapy and Myofascial Release

KINESIO-TAPING
Kinesio-taping is a therapy technique based on the body’s own natural healing process. A therapist uses an elastic tape to activate the neurological and circulatory systems.

Kinesio-taping has four main functions:

• Supports muscle
• Removes congestion
• Corrects joint problems
• Activates the endogenous analgesic system by increasing range of motion, reducing pain and inflammation and improving blood and lymph circulation.

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Craniosacral Therapy uses a light touch to monitor the rhythm of the craniosacral system to detect potential restrictions and imbalances. The therapist uses delicate manual techniques to release those problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord. The therapy helps alleviate a range of illness, pain, and dysfunction.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Myofascial release is a manual therapy that uses a whole body “hands-on” approach to the evaluation and treatment of the body using direct, indirect and reflex release procedures. The therapist manipulates fascia, which is a connective tissue that covers muscles, organs and bones. The therapy can help reduce spasticity, increase range of motion, prevent deformities and improve function. It can also improve respiration and oral motor control.
