Massage Therapy
Restoring Balance to Body, Mind & Spirit
-
At Ascend Holistically, we know that your body and mind are deeply connected. That’s why we offer Massage Therapy, including specialized techniques like Craniosacral Therapy, to help restore balance, ease pain, and calm the mind. Massage isn’t just about relaxing—it’s a powerful tool for healing, supporting both physical health and emotional wellness.
-
Massage Therapy uses hands-on techniques to work with your muscles, soft tissues, and nerves. By applying gentle pressure, stretching, and movement, massage releases tension, improves circulation, and encourages healing. From easing physical pain to relieving emotional stress, massage helps your body function better and feel renewed.
-
One unique approach we offer is Craniosacral Therapy, a gentle and focused technique that works with the central nervous system to promote healing and deep relaxation.
How Massage Therapy Heals
What is Craniosacral Massage Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) focuses on the delicate connection between the brain, spinal cord, and the bones of the skull, spine, and pelvis. During CST, the therapist uses light, careful touch to release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord. This technique helps the body return to its natural balance and flow, improving physical and emotional health.
​
Massage Therapy, including Craniosacral Therapy, works on many levels to heal and restore your body:
-
Releasing Tension
Massage eases tight muscles and reduces pain, while CST helps release deeper restrictions in the body’s nervous system. -
Improving Circulation and Energy Flow
Massage increases blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues. CST improves the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which nourishes and protects your brain and spinal cord. -
Calming the Nervous System
Massage and CST both reduce stress and help your body switch from “fight or flight” mode to a relaxed, healing state. -
Encouraging Natural Healing
CST is especially helpful for those with headaches, TMJ, chronic pain, or trauma, as it works with the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
Proven Benefits of Massage Therapy
Scientific studies show that massage therapy and Craniosacral Therapy provide significant benefits for physical and emotional well-being:
-
Relieve Chronic Pain - Massage reduces muscle pain, while CST can ease conditions like migraines, fibromyalgia, and neck pain by addressing imbalances in the nervous system.
-
Reduce Stress and Anxiety - Both techniques lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and increase serotonin and dopamine, helping you feel calm and centered.
-
Support Trauma Recovery - CST is particularly effective for releasing stored tension from past emotional or physical trauma, allowing the body to reset and heal.
-
Improve Sleep - Massage and CST promote relaxation and help the body enter a deep state of rest, leading to better sleep quality.
-
Enhance Mental Clarity - By calming the nervous system and improving blood and fluid flow, these therapies can increase focus, memory, and overall mental sharpness.
