When you experience a stressful event or injury your body goes into a “Fight or Flight” mode for protection. However, many things such as muscle imbalance, daily stresses, and poor body and breathing mechanics can keep you in a state of hyper-readiness far after the need for protecting ends.
A CNS Reboot session uses noninvasive manual therapy and breathing techniques to turn off this chronic state of hyper-readiness and turn on your relaxation response. In short we “Turn the On switch Off” and you learn how to keep it off.
Is this just a relaxation massage?
Short answer, no. Here are three key differences between a CNS Reboot and a relaxation massage:
- A CNS Reboot is done fully clothed with limited skin-to-skin contact and no oils are used.
- While both a relaxation massage and CNS Reboot will make you feel relaxed, the type of relaxation is very different. A relaxation massage may leave you relaxed and feeling sleeping and sluggish. However, a CNS Reboot will noticeably reduce pain, bring about more coordinated movement, and a relaxed alertness.
- A relaxation massage brings about temporary relief. A CNS reboot is designed to not only bring immediate relief to the current physical or emotional pain, but mark the beginning of a reeducation process at a neurological level that is reinforced by self-care techniques you will learn during the session.
