Cranialsacral therapy can be divided into two separate aspects: Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT), and cranial adjustments. SOT is a means of adjusting the spine primarily through traditional means in the neck and with curved padded blocks across the pelvis to allow gravity and leverage to make the adjustment. Cranial adjustments improve the motion of the bones of the skull and is performed with the same principles, except by hand, in order to relieve pressure on portions of the brain, cranial nerves, and spinal cord. Both are closely related and deal very heavily with nerves and overall health and wellness.

Deep tissue massage is a classic means of getting deep into tense muscle tissue to work out tension and allow the worked muscle groups return toward normalcy.

Chiropractic is very nerve focused. Nerves control every part of the body and that includes muscles. Often tight muscles in the back are the result of irritated (rather than pinched) nerves sending uncontrolled signals to nearby muscles to tighten up. By restoring nerve function, the muscles can finally get a chance to relax.
