Bodywork
Bodywork sessions start with a full assessment of your posture and movement, allowing your therapists to hone in on key problem areas that are likely to be at the root of your pain. Skills and techniques can range from myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, stretching, and movement, all in order to reduce pain, free up tension, improve posture, and return the structure back to its original state. Bodywork is intended for people looking to reduce stress and tension, but more importantly, feel better and more pain free in their bodies.
Sports Recovery
Our sports recovery session blends a host of techniques designed to generate heat and circulation, promote muscle and tissue repair, and regenerate nourishing fluids within the joints. Anyone looking to get back to what they love, from professionals to motivated movers will love their pace of recovery and the guidance our therapists provide to ensure the safest and most effective tools for healthy movement.
Full Body Resets
Full body resets are Body Heal Therapy’s unique take on a full body session. Our resets focus on deep, targeted work that covers multiple areas of the body for general tension relief, stress reduction, and a lighter more fluid body that navigates the demands of life with more ease. Resets are best for global tension relief, stress reduction, and even a happier disposition.
Myofascial Release
NMT is a style of work that targets deep intramuscular tension through deep glides, static, deep compressions, and positional release. NMT is best for chronic pain, long standing soft tissue pathologies and acute pain, flexibility, and general sports recovery
Neuromuscular Therapy
NMT is a style of work that targets intramuscular tension through deep glides, static, deep compressions, and positional release. NMT is best for chronic pain, long standing soft tissue pathologies and acute pain, flexibility, and general sports recovery.
Cupping
Cupping is manual therapy through cups, often suctioning tissue away from deeper layers of tension and offering a unique and often much needed release in areas of tension and restriction. Cupping is best for sports recovery, releasing tissue that is “stuck together” and those hard to stretch places. Cupping is also good for general improvements in circulation, and better tissue mobility.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Therapy (IASTM)
IASTM is a form of manual therapy that utilizes tools to scrape adhesive tissue, release scars, and release stubborn areas of injury, and melt exercise induced tension. Good for scar tissue release, post-surgical rehab, sports injuries, and body contouring.
Free Consultation
A consultation is designed to help us understand what you would like addressed. After listening to your needs we will employ various assessments to determine if what we offer can help in any way.
What People Are Saying
Cara is a talented, patient, and intuitive bodywork therapist who was able to correctly and efficiently target my needs to help me feel better. In just one session, my pain was immediately relieved, and after just a few sessions, my injuries were healing. Thank you so much, Cara, for your work!
Cara is incredible. She’s patient and listens carefully to your body’s needs. I feel heard and safe in her presence, and throughout the session, she checks in to make sure you are comfortable. I’ve only had about 4 sessions with her and my body has done a 180. Highly suggest. Get a session with Cara. Now. Run. Don’t walk.
Cara is knowledgeable, patient, and talented. First time I have been able to sleep on my side and turn my head fully in more than a year. Thank you, Cara!
Cara’s work as a licensed bodywork therapist (LMBT) and movement guide is an integration of her studies in structural bodywork, kinesiology, somatic psychology, yoga, and Afro-Brazilian martial arts. She helps people more deeply connect with their own bodies and feel more empowered to actively participate in their own healing. Cara specialize in myofascial therapy, guided movement, and conscious breath work to address excessive tension and soft-tissue restrictions in the body.
Cara found her way to bodywork therapy after 10 year of integrative studies in embodied healing and transformation. After completing her B.A degree in Psychology and English Literature, Cara began exploring the Psychology of the body and the dynamic relationship between physical, mental, and emotional health through practicing and teaching classical yoga. This led to postgraduate studies and Somatic Psychology, which involves developing body awareness as a mean for healing distress and restoring vitality. Cara’s connection with the healing power of touch led her to the study of structural bodywork at the North Carolina school of Advanced Bodywork through which she became licensed as a massage and bodywork therapist.
If you want to expand your movement potential and create a deeper connection with your body, Cara is a great choice for you. With a patient and intuitive approach to bodywork, Cara will guide you through a healing process that will help you balance your nervous system, develop your strength, and enhance your mobility so that you can live and move with more joy and vitality.
