Structural Bodywork & Medical Massage
How we approach imbalances
We believe that wellness is not just a destination, it is a journey that should be enjoyed every step of the way. Our mission is to provide you with the tools and resources you need to achieve optimal wellness and live your best life. Whether you are looking to improve your physical health, mental well-being, or spiritual growth, we are here to guide you on your journey.
Structural Bodywork and our specialized medical massage modalities should not be considered a onetime event. It’s a continuous journey and embarks on releasing pain and imbalances by freeing up restrictions and allowing the body to reorganize, which may take more than a few sessions. After all, what’s the point of having a specialized Practitioner if you’re going to commit to the process. If you’re serious about making positive changes in your life, you need to be prepared to invest in a Cranial Structural Bodyworker who can help you make those changes happen.
What is Structural Energetic Therapy® ? It is a full body therapy that produces maximum rehabilitation of your physical conditions causing pain and builds your performance potential to its maximum. With the integration of Cranial/Structural techniques and specialized soft tissue protocols, we are able to release your primary core imbalance, with the ultimate goal of restoring balance, strength and function in your body for the long term.
Core structural imbalances are responsible for over 90% of your painful symptoms, and can cause varying degrees of limitations and restrictions. Your core spiral twist is present throughout your life and can be experienced as a weight-bearing weakness and painful strain in your body. Accidents, illness, stress, emotional challenges, injuries, and other life activities that cause your body to collapse further, causing pain.
The combined techniques of SET Therapy address the source of your pain first, and then bring the rest of your body into balance. These modalities include muscle testing, postural analysis, Cranial/Structural therapy, directed myofascial unwinding, stress release, acupressure, scar tissue and adhesion release, deep tissue massage and other therapeutic bodywork.
RESUME YOUR NORMAL LIFE ACTIVITIES PAIN FREE
As your core structure moves into balance and support, you will start to use your body more fully in your day-to-day activities. Your previous pain and weaknesses can disappear and you can obtain your greatest goal of ”pain-free full function”. Your unique conditions are directly addressed producing the quickest long-term results.
Cranial/Structural Core Distortion Releases of Structural Energetic Therapy release the core distortion – the cause of 90% of imbalance, dysfunction, and soft tissue pain. Once fully released (usually in one treatment) the soft tissue restrictions holding the distortion can’t reform the same way again! The old soft tissue restrictions holding the distortion start unwinding and reforming new balanced supported holding patterns! The result – Resuming normal life activities, pain free.
What Is the 3 Step Approach to Structural Energetic Therapy?
With the integration of cranial structural techniques, specific directed deep tissue myofascial unwinding, soft tissue sequences and energy techniques are applied to restore balance throughout the fascial system of the body, creating long-term homeostasis.
Structural Energetic Therapy identifies the cause of clients’ pain and dysfunction based on their structural imbalances.
We will start with a postural analysis, checking the structural arrangement of the body looking for holding patterns and imbalances. Holding patterns are learned and built over time as a response to fatigue, pain, stress or trauma- including scar tissue. They lead to inefficient movement and compensation throughout the body.
We will address and unwind specific muscle groups and structural limitations during the session.
Then, with the integration of cranial structural techniques, specialized soft tissue protocols and energetic emotional energy release, their pain and dysfunction are addressed.
Specialized Medical Massage for Breast and Chest Tissue
Breast massage could have several health benefits for men and women alike.
Such as stimulating blood flow which helps release dense breast and chest tissue.
Instantly improving the appearance while reducing discomfort and encouraging muscle growth.
The breasts contain mammary glands that produce milk, as well as a complex network of lobes, ducts, blood vessels, fatty and fibrous tissues, and lymphatic tubes. Massage may help keep the breasts healthy. The potential benefits involve:
Breast cancer: It is important to keep in mind that breast lumps are unlikely to be breast cancer. In most cases, the cause of these lumps is relatively benign, such as a cyst or infection.
Breastfeeding: Breast massage may help reduce pain that can occur when milk builds up within the breast. A 2015 study, found that all 42 breastfeeding participants reported a reduction in breast and nipple pain following therapeutic breast massage. Also, breast massages may help prevent blockages in the milk ducts and otherwise improve the flow of milk.
Toxins: The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that collect and filter excess fluid waste around the body. These vessels in the breasts carry fluids to the lymph nodes near the breastbone, collarbone, or underarm. Damage to the lymphatic system can cause fluid and waste to build up. This buildup can lead to swelling, called lymphedema. Breast massage may help stimulate the lymph vessels and reduce the risk of lymphedema in the arms and chest.
Breast massage may help detect breast cancer, support lymphatic drainage, and relieve pain from breastfeeding. Various massage techniques can have different effects.
Some people should be cautious about trying breast massage, such as people undergoing cancer treatment. It may be a good idea to consult a doctor.

What is the Cranial/Structural Frontal/Occipital Decompression
Cranial/Structural Frontal/Occipital Decompression (developed by Don McCann) has been proven to produce observable and measurable positive results in behavior, noticeable improvements in motor skills, coordination, strength, the ability to concentrate, and the ability to learn and apply new physical tasks. When using these techniques with children who have autism or learning disabilities, it is possible to give them a chance to experience a more normal and productive life. This therapy also helps facilitate detoxification for the brain and body, reduces scar tissue and soft tissue adhesions from concussions that can cause memory problems and other dysfunctions, can result in significant improvement for early onset Alzheimer’s — many are often able to move back into normal life activities — and so much more.
Cranial/Structural Frontal/Occipital Decompression incorporates:
- Knowledge of cranial anatomy
- Knowledge of cranial rhythms
- Soft tissue cranial releases
- Muscle testing and Kinesiology
- Quick-release methodology
- Sagittal suture release
- Normalizing and balancing temporal bone rhythm
This technique very effectively treats and manages symptoms related to: autism, learning disabilities, swelling in the cranium, detoxing the brain and body, post-surgery detoxing, scar tissue from concussions, focusing and eye problems, prevention of Alzheimer’s, sinus and inner ear swelling, concentration challenges, right/left brain integration, emotional shock and post-traumatic stress disorders, lymphatic balancing, and more

What is the Difference Between Structural Bodywork and Massage Therapy?
Cranial/Structural technique Releases – using integration of cranial releases to initiate the unwinding of the structure out of the core distortion into long lasting balance providing structural support! (No other modality uses or teaches these techniques – this is NOT craniosacral or massage therapy)
Specialized Myofascial Soft Tissue Protocols include deep tissue myofascial unwinding, to release holding patterns, scar tissue and soft tissue adhesions that maintain distortions causing pain, dysfunction, and postural distortion.
Specialized Energetic Healing Techniques
While structural energetic therapists ARE licensed Massage Therapist, traditional massage therapy focuses primarily on the soft tissue, a Structural Energetic Therapy specialist will have significant advanced therapeutic skills that were not taught in basic massage training.
