Philosophy
 
Empowering Your Body's Natural Healing Potential.
At the Clinic of Natural Medicine & Research LLC, we believe the body has the innate ability to heal itself. Our holistic approach on healing focuses on addressing the root causes of pain and dysfunction, not just managing symptoms. By gently guiding your nervous system towards a state of balance, we promote overall well-being and empower your body's natural healing mechanisms. 

Services

​Our therapy sessions incorporate gentle touch and targeted stretches to promote relaxation and pain relief.

Touch and stretch create relaxation and activates the parasympathetic and central nervous system. When the central nervous system is relaxed, it responds by encouraging muscles to find an easier, or more relaxed, position.

This holistic approach can help reduce chronic pain, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being.

Finding Healing, Guiding Others: My journey to becoming a Counterstrain & Nerve Pain Therapist. My background, a chronic pain survivor of bilateral Trigeminal Neuralgia, CRPS, & chronic inflammation.

I understand chronic pain firsthand. After experiencing it myself for 20 years, I embarked on a path to find lasting relief and become passionate about helping others achieve the same.

My lived experience fuels my empathy and motivates me to provide personalized, compassionate care for each patient.

I combine my knowledge of counterstrain & nerve therapy with a deep understanding of the physical and emotional challenges of chronic pain.

PHILOSOPHY

MIND, BODY, SELF

Counterstrain

Strain and Counterstrain Technique (SCS) FCS allows practitioners to identify and correct dysfunction in all regions and systems of the body, not just the musculoskeletal system.  In regards to actual numbers, FCS expands to over 1,000 individual techniques. FCS embraces the concepts of holistic and osteopathic medicine in that it addresses the body as a whole.

A little to no pain FCS treatment removes painful, reflexive tissue contractions from the body via a gentle hands-on process that involves slackening or decompression of the involved body structure, making it a viable option for even the most painful or delicate cases.  Deactivation of deep fascial pain receptors (nociceptors) is FCS’s powerful, multi-system effects. During FCS treatments, there is a palpable, often visible reduction in localized tissue edema.  Many patients report lasting relief of chronic conditions after only one or two treatment sessions.

Origins of Fascial Counterstrain

Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) is an innovative system of soft tissue manipulation developed by board certified orthopedic specialist, Brian Tuckey PT, OCS, JSCCI.

Nerve-Unwinding

Different than classic massage in that it uses no oils or lotions and you don’t have to get undressed. Combining a series of movements that follow the muscles along a nerve pathway. Often, along a nerve pathway, some muscles are fatigued while others are overfiring. Unwinding allows your nervous system to "reboot" and clear muscular overcompensation. Unwinding relieves an assortment of nerve and muscle conditions.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial release (MFR) is a gentle and effective form of bodywork that re-balances the structure of the body, the fascia.  Myo in Latin means muscle - muscles can be thought of as bundles of multi-fiber fascia.  Fascia is the strong but flexible connective tissue found under our skin that encases the entire body, but, it is much more than that.  Fascia encases the entire body, encases muscles and organs, and threads through these structures like a three-dimensional, fiber-optic web. Through this fascial web weave other sensitive structures such as blood vessels and nerves.

Lymph Drainage

Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, relieves swelling or lymphedema that usually happen when Injuries or illness blocks your lymphatic system. Lymphatic drainage massage involves gently manipulating specific areas of your body to help lymph move to an area with working lymph vessels.

Lymphedema happens when your tissues retain fluid left behind after your cardiovascular system sends blood to your tissues and organs.

Cranioscaral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle but potent way of working with the body using a light touch. It supports your body’s innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself as well as helping to reduce stress and build underlying energy. It is suitable for everyone, from newly-born babies to the elderly.

A shift toward a more direct and intimate sense of their own wellbeing, a feeling of "being more at peace with oneself." It may also support a natural shift to self-acceptance, a more natural capacity for loving relations, and a sense of being connected to life.
