Therapeutic Massage

A style of massage therapy which focuses on getting results vs just relaxing. As the name indicates, the purpose of this style massage is to achieve a structural change or therapeutic benefit in the body. With this treatment, therapists mobilize your soft tissue (muscles, tendons, fascia, etc) to restore normal functional use. Various techniques are utilized to achieve results such as neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, stretching, and/or many other techniques. In our spa, therapeutic massage can be combined with Swedish to be both relaxing and targeting specific areas of tension or pain. Therapists can also do deeper tissue if so desired. Just let your therapist know what your goal is and they can adjust massage to your needs.

Craniosacral

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on technique that uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of the fluids in and around the central nervous system. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity.

What conditions may CST help?

  • Chronic pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Migraines
  • Complex regional pain syndrome
  • Fascia adhesions
  • TMJ
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Emotional issues
  • Stress related disorders
  • ADD
  • Sleep disorders
  • PTSD
  • TBI
  • And many other conditions

What happens during a Craniosacral therapy session?

Typically, you lie on a massage table fully clothed (unless CST is added to a massage session). Your CST therapist uses gentle touch to assess any restrictions and/or imbalances in the body. Using the CST rhythm, the therapist will go to areas of dysfunction and will assist the body to unwind or release and balance these areas. At the end of a CST session, most people experience a deep relaxation and heightened sense of well-being. A session generally lasts an hour.

How many CST sessions will I need?

Response to CST varies from individual to individual and condition to condition. Your response is uniquely your own and can’t be compared to anyone else’s, even those cases that may be similar to your own. The number of sessions needed varies widely from just one to three or more a week over the course of several weeks. You and your therapist will develop a plan that uniquely suits you and your condition.

Is there any condition for which CST is contraindicated?

There are certain situations where CST is not recommended. These include conditions where a variation and/or slight increase in intracranial pressure would cause instability…these include acute aneurysm cerebral hemorrhage or other preexisting severe bleeding disorders that could be affected by small intracranial pressure changes. Your therapist will have you fill out an intake form and will go over any health concerns prior to your initial session.

Sonya is my go to massage therapist. Each visit I report my bad spots and she fixes me right up. The atmosphere of the Rustic Retreat is wonderfully relaxing. It’s a great experience getting a massage, or a facial at Rustic Retreat.

Each time I see Cynthia Foster at Rustic Retreat, it’s because I’m in pain, and medicine isn’t working to calm my tight muscles or nerve pain. She always helps take my pain away. Her calm demeanor, years of experience and overall knowledge of the body is amazing. I always leave feeling so much better than when I arrived. She provides a calming atmosphere for her client’s to have a relaxing experience. I highly recommend Cynthia or anyone who works for her. She offers very affordable rates for services.

Sonya provides amazing massages and treatments. I have always had wonderful results with her services. During my last massage, she used cupping on an old injury from a car accident and it worked wonders! I’ll definitely be going back soon. I highly recommend Sonya Rose!

Sonya was fantastic. My left shoulder and neck hurt from holding my newborn and she got in and found the tight spots and helped release them. For getting specific areas addressed I definitely highly recommend.

Have you ever heard of healing hands? That’s exactly what you will feel through the hands of Cynthia. I came to her at such a dark time in my life and she has been a beautiful light in my life!!

I followed Cynthia to her new spa because I believe she is a talented and educated therapist. As a doctorally prepared nurse with more than 4 decades of experience, a former spa owner, and retired personal trainer and group exercise instructor, I am highly aware of the benefits and the need for self-care. I’ve found my therapist and encourage others to find their way to Cynthia at Rustic Retreat.

I went to Cynthia for craniosacral therapy and I don’t think I’ve ever had such a healing experience before in my life! My body and soul felt lighter afterwards. She is truly a miracle worker! The establishment was decorated beautifully and I couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful and friendly environment! I can’t wait to try the other services and therapist/esthetician.

Such a beautiful and peaceful environment to fully relax, destress and recharge! I’ve been struggling with stress and anxiety from my busy life and massage therapist Cynthia Foster has helped dissipate all of my symptoms! I can’t express my gratitude into words as I didn’t have many other options besides medication which I wanted to avoid. I’ve also had facial treatments done with Oona Ross which have transformed my skin. I work outside daily and my skin really needed some pampering. Rustic Retreat is a 10 out of 10 for me and I recommend to anyone and everyone. If you’re looking to be pampered and relax or if you’re looking to get help for pain, tense muscles or anxiety among other ailments Rustic Retreat should be Your Retreat!
