At the Cordelia Knott Center for Wellness, you will find individual therapies in body work and spiritual/energy therapies to help you feel nurtured and invigorated. The benefits are well known - relief of tension and stress, increased circulation and improved emotional and physical well-being.

We sometimes resist the experience of uncomfortable circumstances; emotionally we push down feelings, physically we detach from our bodies. This creates stored, blocked energy. We refer to this as stress and pain. Bodywork assists in gently releasing these barriers, bringing harmony and balance to mind, body and spirit. For centuries, massage and other forms of energy therapies have been accepted health practices in virtually all cultures.

Our revitalizing and therapeutic treatments are customized to your particular needs. All treatments are natural, gentle, and relaxing. Our staff of highly trained and dedicated health professionals will guide and support your discovery of wellness.

Massage - THE HEALING POWER OF TOUCH
Massage involves the therapeutic kneading of muscles with long, flowing hand movements to relieve muscular tension, stimulate circulation, and induce feelings of deep relaxation and tranquility. The method of massage used depends on your goals. At the Cordelia Knott Center of Wellness, our practitioners use a wide range of techniques and will work with you to meet your goals. Please notify our massage therapists if you have any health questions or concerns. Most body treatments are enjoyed without clothing. However, wear what is comfortable to you. This is your time and you should delight in the experience to the fullest.

Trager
The Trager Approach is pleasurable and gentle, yet the effects are deep and lasting. Many people seek a Trager session for relaxation, personal growth and increased feelings of joy and wellness.  Others seek it for its therapeutic effects for releasing pain, stiffness and tension.

What you can expect
During an initial conversation, you and your Trager practitioner will discuss what you would like to get from your session. Your practitioner will also explain how your feedback during the session contributes to making your session a more effective experience for you. As you receive your Trager session, you may choose to be fully clothed or partially clothed and draped, while you lie on a well padded table in our safe, comfortable environment.
At the beginning of your session, your practitioner enters into a state of awareness similar to meditation. From this place of serenity, your practitioner uses touch and movement to communicate with your body and mind the feeling of a freer and easier way of moving. Your body is supported and gently moved within its pain-free range and natural rhythm. As your body and mind yield to these soft movements, tensions disappear and new movement patterns become possible.

Reiki
The word "Reiki" (ray-key), combines two Japanese expressions: Rei, which means "spirit" or "soul", and Ki, meaning "energy." A very subtle therapy using a variation of techniques where laying of hands is used to re-balance the body's life energy and evoke a sense of healing on an emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual level.

What you can expect
The human body is made up of a flowing energy field that is constantly reorganizing and restructuring itself. The therapist's hands are gently placed over your head, chest, abdomen and back producing a deeper, calming and nurturing effect. Reiki is an integrative form of healing which enhances the efficacy of conventional medical treatment while enabling the individual to actively participate in the healing process. Please wear loose-fitting clothing.
