Myofascial Release Therapy

WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL RELEASE THERAPY (MFR)?
MFR is alternative treatment that supports the body’s natural potential to heal itself. This holistic therapy uses gentle, sustained pressure and stretch to release restrictions in the fascial system.
At Amara Therapy, we utilize the MFR triad of techniques; Myofascial Release (structural release), Rebounding (wave-like rocking motion), and Unwinding (facilitated movement), creating a powerful healing in the physical and emotional body. As a result, we have seen great results in alleviating chronic pain, physical trauma and stress related symptoms.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your therapist will begin this healing session with postural assessment for areas of imbalance, decreased flexibility, and tightness. Then prolonged pressure and stretch will be applied to release fascial restrictions. Techniques will be held for a minimum of 5-7 minutes, and sometimes longer. This is necessary to achieve the best results.
This is not a massage. No lotions are used so that the therapist can adhere properly to the skin. For Myofascial Release treatment, it is best if women can wear an everyday bra and underwear. However, if you are more modest loose fitting shorts or yoga shorts and a sport bra are acceptable. Men will need to bring a pair of loose fitting shorts.
Be certain that your skin is free of lotion and perfume.
CranioSacral Therapy

WHAT IS CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY?
CranioSacral Therapy uses soft touch to evaluate and release restrictions in the tissue surrounding the central nervous system. As a result, the rhythmic pulse of the cerebral spinal fluid, through the craniosacral system, is returned to its normal flow. Thus allowing the central nervous system to perform optimally.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During Craniosacral Therapy (CST) sessions, your therapist will focus on releasing tension in the soft tissues protecting the brain and spinal cord. Weak flow and/or tissue motion around the skull, sacrum and spine is determined and delicate manual techniques are applied to release problem areas.
CST is very gentle and therefore wonderful to use where other therapies are contraindicated. Clients will remain fully clothed but remove all jewelry. Blankets will be provided for comfort. CST brings about healing for an improved state of health, reduction in pain, and a deep state of relaxation.
Raindrop Therapy

WHAT IS RAINDROP THERAPY?
Raindrop Therapy is a method of applying therapeutic grade essential oils to the feet and spine to promote stress relief, balance energy centers of the body and support the immune system. This healing technique uses Young Living pure essential oils that have antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Raindrop Therapy stands on its own as a service. However, at Amara Therapy, your therapist will combine Raindrop with other therapies for optimal results.
WHAT TO EXPECT
In the Raindrop Therapy session, aromatherapy, feather light massage strokes, and the application of essential oils are used. First oils are applied to the feet. After that, oil will be dropped onto the back like raindrops. During the session, Young Living Valor essential oil blend, Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Aroma Siez, and Peppermint essential oils, V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex, Ortho Ease massage oil, will be used following the Young Living Raindrop Technique protocol.
Clients will be asked to remove clothing necessary for treatment and remove all jewelry. Clients will lay on a massage table, underneath sheets and blankets provided. Only the area being treated will be exposed. As a result of this healing aromatherapy, clients have experienced deep states of relaxation.
