Hesch Method
Hesch method is an integrated approach that treats the hip, pelvis and lumbar spine in conjunction with the sacroiliac joint to correct pain in and around this region. This treatment looks at the lumbopelvic-hip joint as a “single unit.” Treatment is gentle and sustaining with home exercises typically given for more lasting results.
Cervical Assessment and Treatment
This service includes a full assessment of cervical range of motion, spinal mobility and muscular tension. Treatment may include manual traction, suboccipital release, massage, passive stretching and gentle joint mobilizations to improve overall function and decrease pain/tension headaches. Guidance will be given for what the client can continue performing at home to decrease pain and improve overall mobility.
Myofascial Cupping
Silicone cups are used statically first to improve fascia and muscular pliability. Then the cups are used in the same area with a topical analgesic in a sliding fashion to release muscular tension. This will often cause a change in skin color due to oxygen surfacing to improve healing time. This is not the same as a bruise.
Amanda is certified in cupping and will often use to treat low back and neck pain. May not work effectively on hairy areas.
Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
CST is a gentle hands-on technique that uses light touch to examine the relationship between the brain, spine and sacral regions. With CST we examine the movement of fluids in and around these areas. The entire body is assessed and treated for rhythmic dysfunction. CST promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity. Typical results include decreased flight/fight response.
Deep/Soft Tissue Mobilization
Manual deep tissue mobilization is essentially soft tissue mobilization applied with more force or at a greater depth in order to release the parts of your body that are severely restricted. Manual deep tissue mobilization can often be slightly painful. However, it is important to note that this is temporary and will ultimately help your body to achieve dramatic results.
Manual deep tissue mobilisation can also relieve tightness in joints, muscles and fascia. Restrictions or tightness in soft tissue and joints can impair normal movement and in some cases will cause muscle pain during movement. Excessive tightness in muscles and the body can also restrict the flow of blood and disrupt nerve signals in the area. Manual deep tissue mobilization is regularly used to restore joint function after an injury or used to help promote pain free mobility in your daily life.

COVID-19 VACCINE POLICY
Due to concerns with vaccine reactions and blood clots, no services will be provided until 45 days post your last COVID-19 vaccine. I will not be seeing clients in between doses to ensure no adverse reactions. You will also be required to complete a vaccine liability form due to the nature of contact and working with your body to reduce risk of any complications. You will be responsible for rescheduling your appointment with me if this pertains to you. If you come to your appointment and you fall in this window, I have the right to refuse services and you will still be required to pay for the time slot if not cancelled within my 24-hour cancellation policy. Please be understanding as I navigate these times. My concern is for everyone's health and safety.
