Facial Paralysis Retraining
Facial paralysis retraining is a therapeutic approach designed to restore movement and function to the facial muscles affected by conditions such as Bell's palsy, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, acoustic neuroma or facial nerve injury due to trauma. This retraining process combines education, manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education and biofeedback techniques to help patients regain control over their facial expressions and functional movements. The primary goal is to improve the symmetry and coordination of facial muscles by releasing tension and performing specific exercises that stimulate specific nerve pathways and encourage the brain to re-establish proper communication with the facial muscles. Over time, patients can achieve significant improvements in muscle tone, strength, and overall facial function.
This comprehensive approach addresses both the physical and neurological aspects of facial paralysis, helping patients regain confidence and improve their quality of life. Early intervention and a tailored treatment plan are crucial for the success of facial paralysis retraining, ensuring that the unique needs of each patient are met effectively.

Visceral Manipulation
Visceral Manipulation is a gentle manual therapy that aids in the release of restrictions and unhealthy compensations in the visceral system, which can cause pain and dysfunction. This technique focuses on the internal organs, their environment, and their potential influence on structural and physiological dysfunctions. By carefully manipulating the visceral organs, therapists can promote better organ movement, improve the function of individual organs, enhance blood flow, and help the body find a new health equilibrium.
People who might benefit from Visceral Manipulation include those suffering from chronic pain, digestive issues, respiratory disorders, and women with certain types of reproductive challenges. It’s also beneficial for individuals experiencing post-operative scar tissue pain, musculoskeletal problems, and those who have not found relief from traditional medical interventions. If you experience unexplained pain, stiffness, or dysfunction that has not responded to conventional treatments, exploring Visceral Manipulation could open the door to significant relief and recovery.
Craniosacrial Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system. This system is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Through soft touches, practitioners release tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve health and performance.
Craniosacral Therapy is based on the premise that minor imbalances in the craniosacral system can lead to sensory, motor, or neurological disabilities. The therapy is often used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and it’s effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including migraines, chronic neck and back pain, stress and tension-related disorders, and many other conditions. By normalizing the environment around the brain and spinal cord and enhancing the body’s ability to self-correct, Craniosacral Therapy can provide a profound sense of relaxation and healing.
Neural Manipulation
Neural manipulation is a therapeutic technique that focuses on treating the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It uses gentle manual methods to identify and release restrictions within neural tissues caused by trauma, inflammation, or stress. This improves nerve function, reduces pain, and enhances overall well-being. Often combined with other therapies like physical therapy and chiropractic care, neural manipulation is beneficial for chronic pain, sports injuries, neuropathies, and post-surgical recovery, offering a holistic approach to health and healing.
The practice of neural manipulation requires a deep understanding of the nervous system's anatomy and physiology. Practitioners assess the body's neural pathways to detect areas of dysfunction or restriction. By carefully manipulating these areas, they can help restore the natural flow of nerve impulses, promoting healing and improving the body's ability to function optimally. This approach not only addresses the symptoms but also targets the underlying causes of neural issues, leading to more effective and lasting results for patients.
