Pain Relief through CranioSacral & Manual Therapy Sessions with Steve

Onsen Technique Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy - Pain Free Results that Last!

What is Manual Therapy?

In alternative medicine, Manual Therapy (aka Holistic Bodywork) is any therapeutic or personal development technique that involves working with the human body. Manual Therapy can be performed without touch, as in Yoga, Sound Healing, Breath Work, and  Chi Kung. Manual Therapy is also performed in the hands on Therapies of The Gyrotonic Method, Onsen Manual Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, CranioSacral Therapy, and Energy Medicine. Manual Therapy techniques are also incorporated into Somatic-based Movement to assess or improve posture, promote awareness of the "body-mind connection", pain relief, reduce pain/limitation, and to re-educate faulty movement patterns.   We offer a wide range of modalities that are all part of the "Manual Therapy" family.


Manual Therapy is the application of passive slow mobilization in a controlled process of articular (joint) and soft-tissue (myofascial) stretching intended to improve bio-mechanical elasticity, enhance neuro-fascial health, improve posture, pain relief and reinforce proper movement patterns in the body. 


Manual Therapy is part of advanced coursework within The GYROTONIC® Method of movement and exercise.


Is Manual Therapy like Massage?


No. The only thing that Manual Therapy and Massage have in common is that both involved the skilled application of touch. Manual Therapy is performed with clients fully dressed (generally in exercise wear), uses no oils or creams, and does not include Massage techniques (the repetitive rubbing, stroking or kneading of myofascial tissues to principally improve blood flow).


Is Manual Therapy like Chiropractic?


No. While the end goals may appear to be the same as Chiropractic care, Manual Therapy does not involve any popping of joints or thrusting movements. Manual Therapy uses specific breathing patterns, gentle touch, and subtle muscle action from the client to bring about change.


*** Do you have chronic pain or an old injury that just won't get better? 

 

*** Have you done "all the right things" (physical therapy, chiropractor,  massage, medication) and you still aren't able to be pain-free?   


Then you owe it to yourself to receive a Manual Therapy Session.


Manual Therapy Sessions (Holistic Bodywork) are available with Steve in Claremont.


Booking your Session

How long is a session? What is involved?


Sessions last from 60 to 90 minutes depending on the needs and goals of the client. Sessions include hands-on Manual Therapy techniques and finish with movement exercises designed to reinforce the changes that have occurred in the body.


How often should I schedule a session?


This depends on which "issues in your tissues" you are working on. Sometimes a single session is all that is needed. If more persistent issues have been occurring, booking a session once or twice a week is recommended. Talk with Steve or Laura for their recommendation.

After repeated unsuccessful doctor visits, Steve freed my frozen shoulder and eliminated my gall bladder pain. I'm speechless! Thank you, Steve.


Jo, age 72 ~ Claremont, CA

I cannot thank you enough for the pain relief in my left shoulder. Your gentle and skilled touch made all of the difference. And the homework exercises you've given me are super helpful. Thank you!
