SESSION DETAILS

Your first three sessions will be a Cocoon Body Treatment, scheduled on a Tuesday, Friday, and Monday.

The treatment begins with microcurrent accupressure to down-regulate the body's stress responses and activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Then, a combination of slow, static, rhythmic, and rocking compression techniques on your shoulders, back, sacrum, arms, and legs will promote deeper relaxation of the nervous system and soft tissues as well as improved circulation and healing within the muscles. A warm masque of Deep Moor mud is then applied to the back of the body. This potent healing medium helps to improve circulation, soothe aching muscles, reduce swelling in joints, draw and absorb toxins, and decrease inflammation. You will then turn over onto your back, and the compression massage and Moor application will be repeated for the front of the body. You will be wrapped in a plastic sheet, which prevents evaporation and opens the pores in the skin; as the plastic reflects heat back into the body, the minerals and nutrients from the Moor are able to penetrate even deeper into the tissues, increasing their effectiveness. On top of the plastic, you will be cocooned with blankets, producing a feeling of security and deep rest, and holding the natural heat from your body and from the table warmer within the wrap. Now that you are comfortably swaddled in the sheets and blankets, your therapist will use a gentle body rocking technique to help further calm the nervous system and relax muscles. Next, attention is given to releasing the fascia of the ankles and feet with FasciaBlasting (as tolerated), joint mobilization, and Reflexology massage. Then, the feet are also wrapped with the Moor. Next, tension in the scalp, face, and neck is relieved with FasciaBlasting (as tolerated), Reflexology massage, and CranioSacral Therapy. By releasing restrictions in the skeletal and fascial tissue of the cranium and spine, as well as other parts of the body, the cerebrospinal fluid can flow more freely, resulting in relief of pain and dysfunction and improvement in whole-body health. Gentle rocking is now employed once more to bring awareness back into the full body, the blankets are unwrapped, and the Moor is removed with comforting hot towels and Magnesium Calming Cream is massaged into the skin. Containing 21 essential minerals harvested from the Dead Sea, including Magnesium Chloride, this cream calms nerves and muscles, aids in the reduction of cramping and hypertonicity, and combats stress and fluid retention. To finish, the head, arms, and legs are once again gently rocked to open joints and bring the body into a feeling of balance. Now that the hands-on portion of the treatment is concluded, your package will end with a Sleep After session, giving you time alone to rest and process all the work that has just been done. As you lay on the heated treatment table, specially designed bolsters take pressure off the neck and back, while a weighted blanket provides gentle pressure, like a warm hug, that helps to calm and quiet the mind and body, creating deep ease in stress and pain.

 

Your last three sessions will be a therapeutic massage or bodywork session, scheduled on a Friday, Monday, and Friday.

Depending on your symptoms and goals for each treatment day, these sessions may be CranioSacral Therapy, FasciaBlasting, Microcurrent Point Stimulation, Scar Release Therapy, or an integrated combination of these therapies.

IMPORTANT TREATMENT TIPS

* Make sure you are well-hydrated every day, especially before and after your treatment.

* Keep in mind, as with any treatment, individual results vary. Many factors make a difference, such as: severity of symptoms, condition of the fascial system, current stress load, genetics, hydration, diet, sleep, daily movement and/or exercise, etc. But with a regular routine of intentional self-care, you can make progress in healing your body.

* The number and timing of treatments also has a large effect on treatment outcomes; so, it is important to ensure that you book your sessions during a time when there will be no conflicts with your personal schedule for the 2.5-week duration of the series.

*At the conclusion of this treatment series, massage and bodywork sessions can be continued as often as you like. We recommend 2 times per week for the next few weeks. The body wrap protocol may be repeated after giving the body time to rest for at least two weeks.
