Before Your Appointment
The foundation to this work is the integration of Cranial & Structural balance, Soft Tissue Therapies. It’s the subtle unwinding of the spine as a result of post-Cranial distortion release, and releasing the Soft Tissue and Fascia that surrounds the structure.
In this form of therapy, we perform gentle movements to the head followed by moving soft tissue across the specific area of the body being addressed. The process is slow and intentional. Most patients feel like there is 'more space in their bodies' when we are done.
This form of therapy addresses acute and chronic pain, including migraines, lower back pain, and much more. We are each born with 'core distortion'. In summary, it is a twist in the spine we all have from birth that creates a lack of weight-bearing support for the spine. This, in turn, creates weakness and imbalances throughout the whole body. SET is aimed at correcting the distortion and establishing alignment and strength in an integrated system.
What can you expect? Prior to your first session, you will be asked to review our informed consent and complete an intake form.
- Medical/surgical history
- Medications
- Supplements
- Accidents
Both forms will be reviewed at your session, all questions answered, and then you will be asked to sign those documents.
What to wear during the session:
- Cranial: These sessions are conducted fully clothed - soft flexible clothing that is comfortable to wear lying down.
- Soft tissue protocols: Basic undergarments
- Women - underwear, bra
- Men - underwear, exercise or swim trunks
Only the part of the body we are working on will be exposed.
How should I prepare/recover?
- Hydration: the day prior, the day of, and the day after your session.
- You may defer extensive physical workouts 24-48 hours after your session as your body needs time to rebalance.
- Feelings of relaxation and muscle soreness are common after your session. A warm bath with mineral salts helps with detox and muscle soreness.
- You may want to do a subtle meditation or listen to your favorite music.
- We always suggest a little gentleness with yourself after an intense therapeutic session is very well.
