Specializing in fascial-craniosacral therapies
֍ Andrea Potyondy-Smith, LMT, CMT ֎
Benefits of Myofascial Bodywork
I focus on working with athletes, those in chronic pain, and those in physical therapy--both post-surgery and to help forgo surgery after injuries; from infants to octogenarians+. The work I do can help people coping with:
- Athletic injuries (strains, sprains, etc.) & performance
- Post-surgical rehabilitation (joint replacements etc.)
- Migraines & headaches
- Chronic low-back pain
- Rotator cuff injuries and frozen shoulder
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Bunion pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Postural problems & dysfunction
- Whiplash & spastic torticollis
- Fibromyalgia
- Phantom limb pain
- Scar tissue restrictions/adhesions
- Arthritis and RA
- Pregnancy
- Birth Trauma
- Childhood injuries
Children's Pricing
Children respond incredibly well to Cranio-Sacral work & Dynamic Body Balancing.
Time frames are those best suited for each age group.
SPECIALIZED FASCIAL SERVICES PRICING
Tuning Fork-Only
Therapy
$75/session*
Sound healing may take many forms. Primarily, I work with tuning forks from a mechanical and/or energetic perspective, based on the client's preferences. The OTTO 128 Hz weighted tuning fork is primarily used for physical fascial and muscular release. If a client prefers a more integrative healing session, the unweighted Solfeggio forks and/or the weighted Chakra forks can be used, as well. *Session time can vary from 40-60 minutes
Biodynamic Skeletal Therapy
Integrated with Bodywork, as Needed
There is no separate cost for the integration of BST in a session, and is often used when a bony compaction (skeletal fascial restriction, essentially) is encountered. Fascia is a pervasive tissue that surrounds and encapsulates every tissue of our bodies: blood, bone, muscles, tendons, ligaments, lymph, etc. However, since bone is essentially the deepest layer of the human body, the pressure required is more than is utilized in CST or fascial release. Therefore, client feedback becomes essential with its use.
Structual Integration
$140/Session*
Structural Integration is based on the 10 sessions of Rolfing® and addresses the fascia in a very specific series. I am certified in this technique though the Lyons Institute. The 10-session series can be purchased individually or as a package in 3 installments; call or email for details.
*Each session varies in length from approximately 70-90 minutes
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
I regularly use tuning forks in a treatment for "sticky" fascia & sometimes cups.
I also offer some other fascial-focused services. Price is per service.
Clients may incorporate one of the following services into their allotted time (pre-arranged) at no additional cost.
This excludes ear candling and hot stone massage, which are always stand-alone services.
- DRY CUPPING: $20--up to 2 areas of the body; approximately 20 minutes (not Traditional Chinese Medicine wet cupping)
- GUA SHA: $20--AKA Scraping or Spooning, similar to Cupping or Graston™ work; 2 areas of the body, approx. 20 minutes
- GUA SHA FOR FACE: $15--15 minutes; very soothing, but no "red marks" as one gets with body Gua Sha
- KINESIOTAPING: $20--up to 2 areas (requires client be lotion-free beforehand)
- TISSUE FLOSSING: $20 for 2-3 areas; must be free of lotion and have no latex/rubber allergies. Involves client participation
- EAR CANDLING: $30--takes about 10 minutes per ear
- HOT STONE MASSAGE: Using Synergy® Stones; surcharge of $10, and 60 minutes only ($100/hour)
- OUT-CALLS: Travel cost of $10-25 applies, distance-dependent; up to 20 miles max. FOR ESTABLISHED CLIENTELE ONLY
LATE & NO-SHOW POLICY: Late arrivals may affect one's session time. IE: 15 minutes late = 15 minutes less bodywork time. One is considered a "no-show" after 30 minutes; at this point, the session will be cancelled unless the client agrees to pay the full price of their session while still receiving the deducted time. If a person is a repeat no-show (more than once), alternate therapy arrangements may be discussed.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Ideally, please give me about 24 hours notice (or evening-before, for a morning appointment) if you need to cancel a session. Of course, I do realize that sometimes "life happens," and if you are ill, most definitely stay home! Chronic day-of cancellation (more than twice), however, may lead to alternate therapy recommendations.
