Below is a list of specialized body work and energy therapy services Arthur provides. For more information about these services or to schedule a massage or body work session, please call Arthur at 215-850-8102.
BASIC Neuromuscular Integration (BNI)
A comprehensive and progressive process of structural realignment, through deep muscle manipulation and myofascia release, manually performed over the course of 10 sessions. These sessions are 1 ½ to 2 hours in length. This is a very effective treatment for longstanding pain patterns and problem areas that have previously been resistant to healing through other forms of bodywork.
BASIC Massage
A deep-muscle, full-body massage designed to release tension throughout the body. The strokes are deeper, slower, and more therapeutic than most other forms of massage. It focuses on the whole person, not just the presenting problem.
Head, Neck, & Shoulder Massage
A holistic, relaxing, non-invasive massage of the upper back, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, scalp, face, and ears. An ideal stress-reducing massage.
Reflexology
An ancient method of compression massage to reflex areas of the hands and/or feet that are related to the body’s various organs and systems. It brings about balance and relaxation and relieves pain.
CranioSacral Therapy
This is a gentle, hands-on technique which works with the hydraulic forces of the CerebroSpinal Fluid flow to detect and correct restrictions and imbalances in the body. This form of bodywork aims to ease restriction in the body caused by trauma. Trauma can be both physical and psychological and from minor to very serious. Gentle, noninvasive pressure is used to balance the craniosacral system. It brings about a deep state of relaxation and is helping in relieving pain.
