Bodywork

For the purposes of this directory, Bodywork therapy is an umbrella term encompassing therapies that use manual techniques to manipulate the physical body to soothe the nervous system, release muscle tension, relieve pain, improve circulation and more.

This category includes various types of modalities, including chiropractors, massage therapists, Rolfing, myofascial release, craniosacral therapies and more.

Maria • Bee Well Chiropractic

  • Dr. Maria DeCosse, DC CACCP, Webster + Perinatal Certified, is owner and Chiropractor at Bee Well Chiropractic in Nevada City.

    She loves adjusting the whole family! She is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and is Webster Certified (aka pregnancy chiropractic), and also has an advanced certification in pediatric and infant chiropractic care.

    Working with a pregnant mama throughout her pregnancy helps to support her body as it goes through huge physiological changes and it keeps the pelvis and ligaments of the uterus open for a baby to engage properly in the pelvis. It also helps with pubic bone pain, round ligament pain, acid reflux and general lower back/pelvic pain.  Babies can be adjusted as soon as right after birth, which can be instrumental in helping their tiny amazing growing bodies to adapt and integrate the birthing process and any of the challenges that may arise (such as difficulty latching/feeding, colic, ear infections, constipation and torticollis). 

    Ultimately, getting adjusted helps to connect the communication between your brain and body (your nervous system) so that your body can be connected to its ability to heal, function and express life at the fullest! In other words, you don’t need to have pain or symptoms to come see a chiropractor - just the ability to support your body to unwind stress and be at its best expression.

  • For orthopedic injuries and degenerative issues, Softwave Therapy brings extracorporeal shockwave therapy to a whole new level. By activating stem cell migration, stimulating angiogenesis (production of new blood vessels), and quickly reducing inflammation, Softwave Therapy dramatically reduces pain and can help avoid the need for many surgical interventions in just a few treatments. Examples include torn ACL, rotator cuff, hip conditions, etc... even "bone on bone" responds very well.


    Applications beyond joint problems include: Plantar Fascitis, Peripheral Neuropathy, Diabetic Ulcers, Burns, Scars, Wrinkles, Chronic sinus problems, non union fracture, soft tissue injuries, and much more. Highly recommended for many situations pre/post surgery for better outcomes.

Lukasz Kruk

  • Integrative bodywork encourages community well-being and strives to create more peace in your body. It incorporates a range of massage techniques and manual therapy to relieve tension patterns resulting in headaches and back, neck, and joint pain.

    This bodywork session encourages deep listening, attentive work within soft tissue, and mobilization of body parts to inspire easy flow in the entire system. The result is an altered state of relaxation and a profound connection to your inner being.

  • CranioSacral Therapy Is a gentle, hands on approach that releases tensions deep in the skull, relives pain and dysfunction in the fluid body (CSF), and creates more space for your breath to function naturally.

Kendall Nichole

  • Allow yourself to unwind with a somatic full body experience that unwinds physical and emotional tension within the body, and guides you to unravel whole lines of tension and patterns you’ve been carrying. This methodology blends somatic experiencing, energy work, and full body massage, including abdominal.

    A byproduct of these sessions is that it can support your connection to your body and nervous system and deepen your capacity. We can go as deep into the somatic/emotional healing as you’d like, or this can be a more restful bodywork experience.

    These can be supportive for pain patterns within the body or patterns in your nervous system and emotional responses by helping you to isolate relaxation of regions that are holding and to let energy freely move through the body. Experience both deep relaxation and learn to be an active participant in the process of your own unwinding.

    Abdominal work stimulates our many internal organs housed within the abdomen and is incredibly healing for the digestive system. Support your internal organs and whole body system to move stagnant energy and revitalize.

  • Kendall works within the intersection of Functional Hormonal Health, Somatics & Energy, and the physical integration of the pelvis, womb & heart. This manual therapy can support with hormonal health, tissue opening & pelvic floor unwinding/strengthening, increased milk production, scar tissue remediation, re-sensitization, and emotional balance.
