What is McTimoney Holistic Therapy?
McTimoney Therapy is a straightforward holistic and gentle method of manipulating the joints of your whole body to maintain the correct alignment of your spine and to ensure that your body's nervous system works efficiently. When any part of your spinal column becomes misaligned then a nerve may become impinged, compressed, or stretched, distorting the information that passes along it. This is when pain, discomfort, or restricted mobility can occur.
The McTimoney method seeks to eliminate the cause, not just treat symptoms through subtle realignments. McTimoney therapy can relieve pain and discomfort, help increase mobility and provide a route to better health.
McTimoney Therapists use only their hands to make a series of realignments to the bones of your body. The key to the success is in the speed, dexterity and accuracy with which they are performed. The whole skeletal system is assessed and treated at every session.
McTimoney Therapy can also be used to effectively treat animals by realigning and balancing the musculoskeletal system of your animal– restoring health, movement and performance particularly after an injury.

What is CranioSacral Therapy?
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance.
CranioSacral Therapy was developed by Osteopathic Physician John E. Upledger. A CranioSacral Practitioner releases restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system. CranioSacral Therapy is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and it's effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.
How does CranioSacral Therapy Work?
Few structures have as much influence over the body's ability to function properly as the brain and spinal cord that make up the central nervous system. And, the central nervous system is heavily influenced by the CranioSacral system, the membranes and fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord.
Every day your body endures stresses and strains that it must work to compensate which often cause body tissues to tighten and distort the CranioSacral system. It's these distortions that can cause tension to form around the brain and spinal cord resulting in restrictions. This can create a barrier to the healthy performance of the central nervous system, and potentially every other system it interacts with.
CranioSacral Therapy practitioners uses their hands to evaluate the CranioSacral system by gently feeling various locations of the body to test for the ease of motion and rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid pulsing around the brain and spinal cord. Soft-touch techniques are then used to release restrictions in any tissues influencing the CranioSacral system.
