“CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.” - CST as defined by the Upledger Institute

*Our massage therapists that offer CST have received their trainings from a variety of schools. For inquiries regarding specific LMTs and their specific trainings, please contact Mackenzie at mack@resolvebodyworksrva.com.

Hot Stone Massage

Available in 90 Minute - 2 Hour durations

Basalt lava stones are polished, smoothed, heated and incorporated into a restorative therapeutic massage experience. Excellent for loosening muscles, relieving stress, and easing tension- hot stone therapy is great for stubborn muscles and overall relaxation of the central nervous system. Heated to between 110 and 130 degrees, the stones are hot enough to warm and relax your muscles but not too hot to cause skin irritation. Heat has an instantaneous relaxation effect on muscles, serving as an excellent tool to access deeper layers of muscle tissue in especially problematic areas of muscle tension.

•Autoimmune disorders - Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis and a number of other autoimmune related conditions.
•Chronic muscle spasms, tension and pain
I•Insomnia, anxiety, depression

Add-Ons

& techniques for use at LMT discretion

Kinesiology Taping

$15 add-on | for use at therapist discretion

The lymphatic system is the way your body regulates swelling and fluid buildup. In theory, when kinesiology tape is applied, it creates extra subcutaneous space, which changes the pressure gradient in the area underneath your skin. That change in pressure enhances the flow of lymphatic fluid, providing support and relief of pain in the affected muscles, joints, and/or ligaments. It reduces swelling, increases mobility and enhances recovery time. KT Tape may be used by select therapists where deemed beneficial.

We also offer Standard Tier Services, including:

• Therapeutic Massage

• Therapeutic Relaxation Massage

• Prenatal Therapeutic Massage

• Face & Scalp Massage

• Grief Massage

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage
