Services
http://www.vitalpointstherapy.com/services/index.html
We offer a variety of services that range from Orthotics to Manual Therapy. Effective treatments for back pain, shoulder, and hip problems will be available as well as health and nutritional coaching.
Manual Therapy releases restriction in connective tissue, to uncover protective mechanisms and heal the underlying issues. Connective tissue is found everywhere in the body – the ECM, the walls of arteries, through tendons, ligaments and fascia to bone. Restrictions are caused by trauma, but also by the body trying to protect an organ or body part. Any symptom tells us that the body has tried to adjust and protect itself as best it can,. Pain happens where pressures and forces and tensions collide - often from those same accommodations. We help the body release those restrictions, uncover the protective mechanisms, and heal whatever the body is protecting.
CranioSacral: A gentle form of manipulation that facilitates the movements of the cranium, spinal column and the sacrum to improve circulation, restore balance and improve biological function. CST is effective for colic, headaches, restoring cranial shape from a traumatic birth, decreasing hyperactivity and sensory sensitivity.
Visceral Manipulation: A gently technique taught by French Osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral to facilitate correct relationship between organs and the connective tissues, Visceral Manipulation is specific placement of soft manual forces to encourage the normal mobility, tone and motion of the viscera and their connective tissues. These gentle manipulations can improve the functioning of individual organs, the systems the organs function within, and the structural integrity of the entire body.
Orthotics has to do more than be comfortable or support the arches of the foot. They have to correct the biomechanics of the foot. They have to allow the many joints of the foot to operate in the correct timing and the correct sequence, so that the weight can come around the arch and then onto the inside of the foot, so that the foot can become a rigid lever again in time to propel you forwards. We custom make biomechanically correct orthotics for you.
Articulation/Phonological Processing Therapy: This treatment corrects inappropriate productions of standard speech sounds due to incorrect placement of the lips, tongue, teeth, velum, and pharynx.
