“CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.” - CST as defined by the Upledger Institute
*Our massage therapists that offer CST have received their trainings from a variety of schools. For inquiries regarding specific LMTs and their specific trainings, please contact Mackenzie at mack@resolvebodyworksrva.com.
Fire Cupping
30 min $75
Fire cupping is not bookable by clients, but is booked at your massage therapist’s discretion.
Fire cupping uses a flame to create suction within heavy glass massage cups, targeting superficial & deep layers of the body. By creating space, glass cups facilitate movement of blood & lymph to trouble areas, removing stagnant metabolic waste from the targeted tissues. Often, markings left by fire cupping can be telling of areas to look to in future assessment of ailment, and can function as a pre-emptive “diagnostic” tool for future physical therapies.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Standard Tier Service
30 min $70 | 45 Min $90 | 60 min $120
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is helpful for:
Non-edema fluid retention
Post-surgical/injury healing
Improved blood circulation
Chronic pain or inflammation
Nervous system regulation
Lymphatic circulation is a vital part of maintaining a healthy immune system. Since lymph does not have a pump that helps it move through the body, like the heart, it relies on muscle and joint movement as its means of circulation. Lymphatic drainage massage can aid significantly in creating and maintaining healthy lymphatic circulation. Consistent sessions can help alleviate common swelling around the feet, ankles, knees, and any other parts of the body that you feel may "hold water" excessively. It is an excellent supplement to anyone suffering from chronic conditions that may limit every day movement. *Lymphatic drainage is not recommended for anyone that is currently sick, or has been sick within the last week.

Myofascial Cupping
Using Hijama cups or silicone cups
complementary | for use at therapist discretion
Cupping effects adhesion in the fascia, and promotes circulation of blood and lymph to restricted areas. Cupping is a superficially-oriented therapy and, while tightness is an expected sensation in the area of application, should never hurt. *Marking similar to bruising is an expected after-effect of cupping therapy that may last anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks.
Hijama cups
Silicone cups
Scraping
IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation), Gaan Kroot (Thai style), or Gua Sha (Chinese style)
complementary | for use at therapist discretion
While cupping can be a superstar for circulatory & anti-adhesive effect in the superficial layers of the body, scraping can help to manually disperse & prevent scar tissue build-up, and other superficial adhesions. You may look like you’ve been truly scraped after this technique is applied, but its effects are profound and long-lived.
Kinesiology Taping
$15 add-on | for use at therapist discretion
The lymphatic system is the way your body regulates swelling and fluid buildup. In theory, when kinesiology tape is applied, it creates extra subcutaneous space, which changes the pressure gradient in the area underneath your skin. That change in pressure enhances the flow of lymphatic fluid, providing support and relief of pain in the affected muscles, joints, and/or ligaments. It reduces swelling, increases mobility and enhances recovery time. KT Tape may be used by select therapists where deemed beneficial.
