Assisted Stretching
Allow Emily to guide your body into passive stretches and postures for either specific, targeted muscle groups or for more of a full body effect. She usually integrates this upon request with regular manual therapy work on the table, but for deeper assisted stretching on the floor or a mat, please see Thai Bodywork.

Thai Bodywork
With 24 hours of continuing education from Thai Bodywork in Evanston, IL and 250 hours of yoga teacher training from Evolve Yoga & Wellness in Sioux City, IA, Emily helps you into deep, passive stretches and meditative breathwork, while she provides slow, alternating compressions. This sedates the nervous system while also helping the body adapt to weird, uncomfortable, and even painful shapes/postures/sensations.
*Thai Bodywork sessions take place on a yoga mat on the floor. Please consider wearing comfortable/loose clothing for this option.

Cupping
This technique has certainly withstood the test of time with many of its roots in ancient Egyptian and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Cupping creates a kind of reverse pressure in the soft tissue which stimulates blood flow, breaks down adhesions/stagnation, and promotes fluid balance in localized areas of the body. Emily typically glides the cups with oil, which is ideal for reconditioning scar tissue and breaking down adhesions.
