osteopathy
Osteopathy is both science and art. As a science it emphasizes the relationship between the entire neuromusculo-skeletal system and good bio-mechanics and how this can further be related to balanced circulation and improved health. Osteopathy is a therapeutic system originally based upon the premise that manipulation of the muscles and bones to promote structural integrity could restore or preserve health: current osteopathic physicians use the diagnostic and therapeutic techniques of conventional medicine as well as manipulative measures. As an art it views the person as an integrated dynamic organism whose primary aim is wellness or balanced homeostasis throughout one’s entire life.
craniosacral therapy & massage
The Craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This vital system influences the depvelopment and performance of the brain and spinal cord and any imbalance or restriction can potentially cause any number of dysfunctions ranging from headaches, migraines, sinus, scoliosis, TMJ, learning diffifulties and the list goes on!
CranioSacral Therapy is a relaxing treatment. It is done with a light touch to assess & release points of restriction, increasing the functioning capability of the body.
At The Maas Clinic there is a department that specialises in treating infants and children. We have had amazing results with babies with colic, constipation & birth-related issues as well as older children with sleep disorders, ADD/ADHD & other serious concentration disorders.
posture pro & neuromuscular therapy
Posture Pro is a digital assessment of spinal posture using photographic digital imaging to show mis-alignments and curvatures of the spine. Patients are then a put on a program using NMT, deep tissue massage as well as cranio-sacral therapy & then posture is re-assessed periodically to validate specific corrections in the spinal & muscular presentation of the patient.
power-assisted manipulation
Otherwise known as PAM in the practice, it has become a strong player in the spinal care maintenance of inflexible spines ranging from 40 degree scoliosis or less, kyphosis to dowager's humps as well as encouraging greater flexibility in athletes and lay people.
