About Our Therapy Services

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY: CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle manual therapy that uses the production and absorption of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) as it comes in and out of the skull and spine to address restriction within the body. This natural occurring movement allows the Practitioner to find and release dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system and central nervous system while the patient is fully clothed lying on a table.  CST works to enhance the body's own healing potential. CST provides a holistic approach to feeling better, addressing more than just symptoms. CST is very relaxing and enjoyable to receive.  It is a "hands on" modality that is lighter touch than a massage.  The whole body decreases in muscle tension and improved alignment of structures occurs.  The body feels more organized and calmer.  Patients typically report "decreased" pain and "increased" well-being following a treatment.

AUDITORY INTEGRATION THERAPY:  AIT is an educational intervention that retrains a disorganized auditory system.  Auditory Integration Training is a scientific method of retraining the ear to listen and process sounds in a more normal manner, without distortions and delays.  AIT is documented to have profound positive effects on many different types of individuals.  For example: Children with hypersensitive hearing, auditory processing disorder, sensory integration issues, ADD and ADHD, Autism spectrum, OCD, depression, learning disabilities, speech/language delays, behavioral and social skills issues all have made gains using AIT.   Some of the documented findings reveal that 3 months after AIT many parents report an overall calming effect, improved social skills, improved school performance, increased organization, behavior improvements, increased speech/ language skills, improved reading skills, improved handwriting, increase vocabulary, increased eye contact and affection, improved ability to function in background noise, increased self-esteem, reduced distractibility, increased independence and compliance, and less irritability and impulsivity.

Our Program for Auditory Integration Therapy:  Participants listen to specific music using high quality headphones 2x a day for 30-minute sessions for 10-12 consecutive days. There must be a minimum of 3 hours in between listening sessions. An audiogram is conducted prior to the first listening session to determine auditory sensitivities to be filtered during the therapy.  The child’s level of cooperation may impact the success of the audiogram, however AIT is still possible.  Participants should be 3 years and older.

 NEW !
