Massage Therapy
Therapeutic Massage is based on Swedish Massage and is a manual manipulation of muscles and soft tissue. Many people seek out massage therapy to relieve the knots and tension in tight muscles, but massage also helps improve circulation, lymphatic flow, slows the heart rate and breathing, relaxes the nervous system, and benefits the immune system.
Some types of therapeutic massage include Swedish massage, Deep tissue, Sports massage, Neuromuscular, Myofascial Release, Pregnancy, and Infant massage. All of the Massage Therapists at Elemental Health are certified and licensed to practice in Illinois. Many of them have additional training which, along with years of experience, creates the style of each therapist. Please see the “therapist” page to learn more about what each therapist specializes in and how it may help you.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is several thousand years old. The use of sterilized needles inserted into specific points can alleviate pain, increase energy, calm the mind and nerves, and treat many, many conditions.
The practitioner will usually ask questions about your health, look at your tongue, and check your pulse to put together a picture of your current health and what can be improved. The use of herbs or nutrition may also be suggested. Cupping, guasha, and moxibustion do not utilize needles, and may be performed if indicated. Acupuncturists at Elemental Health are nationally certified and licensed in Illinois.

Core Synchronism
Core Synchronism is a gentle but deeply relaxing and therapeutic type of bodywork that was developed out of Polarity Therapy and Cranial Osteopathy by Robert Stevens. In a treatment, balance is encouraged as everything in the physical body – bones, organs, tissue – is synchronized with the subtle energies – chakras, nadis, long currents – that direct the nervous system. Physical pain, emotions, and traumas are released from our cellular memories as we come closer to a peaceful, balanced state. Those who receive Core Sync say it leaves them feeling centered, clearer, or just very deeply relaxed. Clients may remain fully clothed for a session, and the touch of the practitioner is very light, and may even be off the body. Because of this, there are no contraindications for Core Synchronism, it can be received after injuries or surgeries when massage cannot. It is also perfect for children.

Reflexology
Foot reflexology utilizes finger and thumb techniques on the feet which send a signal to the brain to interrupt stress, promote deep relaxation, clarity of mind, and a sense of well-being.

A session can assist with: digestive ailments, hormonal imbalance, structural pain, attention deficit disorders, headache/migraines, sleeping disorders, releasing emotional tension, and strengthening the immune system.
