Therapeutic Massage
We offer a wide variety of therapeutic massage including but not limited to myofascial release, deep tissue work, reflexology, cupping, and trigger point therapy.
Certified Rolfing
We also offer Rolfing in Bend. Through external factors our natural alignment can be lost, and cause internal stress that can result in real discomfort. Prevent or correct the misalignment, and you may eliminate or limit the stress. This is at the heart of Rolfing.
Linking all internal structures within the human frame is the fascial web. This plastic connective tisse unites the structure of the inner form and divides its individual functioning units. Fascia is constantly changing and adapting in response to demands placed on an individual’s body. It reacts to particular physical damage – to a joint for example – by producing extra material to enhance stability and support. However, it can produce more than is necessary. In time, rather than stabilizing movement it can actually reduce mobility, leading to a changed postural position and altered patterns of movement.
Through the Rolfing touch, the elasticity and sliding capacity of the tissue can be restored and the body realigned in such a way that it is can function with more ease. By introducing the influence of gravity on well being Dr. Rolf broke new ground. Scientific research supports her wisdom. After completing ten sessions with a Certified Rolfer™ a client can expect to experience a greater sense of allover freedom. Better posture and improved movement can be expected.
