Nicole Runcie integrates these techniques into treatment when appropriate. Sessions can also be booked specifically for these treatments.

Cranial/Sacral Manipulation Technique - How It Works

Cranail/Sacral technique applies a small amount of pressure into the musculoskeletal system to affect change. There is a focus on manipulation of the cranial bones of the head and the sacral joint in your spine. The gentle pressure can be applied to all joints of the body, though.

Cranial/Sacral treatment is most affective for:
  • Migraines
  • Headaches
  • Post Concussion
  • Tailbone Injury
  • Fatigue
  • Chronic Pain

If you have fallen on your head or tailbone at any time in your life Cranial/Sacral will assist in shifting your body back to it’s pre trauma state. The gentle approach is beneficial for patients with fibromyalgia or chronic pain where gentle pressure is best for treatment.

Visceral Manipulation - How It Works

Visceral Manipulation is a technique where the practitioner adjusts your organs. Small pressure is applied to the fascia around the organs to return normal function to the organ and to unwind fascial adhesions that have occurred around the organs.
Visceral Manipulation is most effective for:
  • Digestive disorders: IBS, inflammatory bowel disease, Celiac disease, Diverticulitis
  • Post pregnancy
  • Post hysterectomy
  • After any abdominal surgery
  • Endometriosis
  • Abdominal pain
  • Pelvic pain
  • Treatment resistant hip pain
