Craniosacral therapy is a gentle treatment that works with the central nervous system and the body to help regain balance. It is used to treat a variety of conditions including chronic pain, hypermobility syndromes, headaches and migraines, tinnitus, stress, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, temporomandibular joint syndrome, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and scoliosis.

Although the treatment techniques focus on the head and spinal cord, craniosacral therapy affects the whole body due its effects on the central nervous system and other systems of the body.

Craniosacral Therapy is offered as a 60 or 90 minute appointments which incorporate assessment and treatment time.

Therapeutic Massage integrates multiple treatment modalities for optimal health. These include Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, Silicone Cupping, Trigger Point Release, Myofascial Release, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), and Gua Sha.

Some examples of conditions we treat at Align Bodywork are chronic muscle or joint pain, sprains and strains, headaches, posture-related pain, repetitive-use conditions such as golfer’s or tennis elbow, stress, and much more!

Massage Therapy sessions are offered as 60 or 90 minute treatments.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), commonly known as the jaw joint, is a complicated joint. This joint often has stiffness, pain, popping or clicking. At Align Bodywork, we focus on relief of jaw pain, tightness, and clicking or popping.

Gillian is trained in both extra-oral and intra-oral massage therapy. She uses a gentle approach in her treatment to aid clients with their jaw pain.

Please note that intra-oral work is not required and is dependent on the client’s comfort level. As well, intra-oral massage requires a written consent form to be completed prior to the appointment (available as part of the online intake).

These appointments are 60 or 90 minutes long, with a focus not only on the jaw, but associated structures of the head, neck, and body.
