Learn, Grow and Evolve
Our Brain and Nervous System subconsciously conducts the miracle that is our self-creating, regulating and healing body. It enables us to express consciousness, animate our bodies and experience our World. Utilizing Chiropractic Adjustments, Craniosacral Therapy, Breath Work, Postural Awareness, Movement and several Soft Tissue Modalities, we use 10 and 20 minute Adjustments to relieve and balance the tension in your body and on neuro-spinal system. The goal of our care is to unwind the stress on your system so you express more life and more resiliency.
Beyond providing Adjustments, we emphasize education to empower you with self care strategies to encourage you to be more involved in taking care of your body.
Our Lens: BioGeometric Integration and Tensegrity
Every tissue in your body is connected by a webbing, known as fascia.
Fascia is a highly innervated tissue, connecting all the things we think of as separate in our bodies.
We are awesomely dynamic, force absorbing, buoyant bodies. So much more than a simple stack of bones, like a building. Our bodies are tension dependent structures. Our integrity depends on the tension balances of our soft tissues. If you have more tension in one area, pulling another towards it, we will be pulled out of alignment, becoming less dynamic. This is the way we view your body at EFC!
We observe how your tension is pulling your body out of wack, and use Adjustments to bring more balance to it. It feels awesome! AND it's not just about movement! We all know stress comes from so much more than just physical movement. The emotional, societal and self inflicted burdens, even the way we think, weigh on us and physically manifest as tension.. Our emotional stressors physically manifests as tension in our bodies and challenge our well-being. When we release and integrate this stress, we don't just feel and move better, we express more health, and resilience!

Your skull literally breaths! At a rate about half of that you breath, the bones in your skull work in conjunction with your sacrum to pump Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) throughout your brain, and to your spinal cord. This both nourishes, and protects your neural tissue. When pieces of this pump aren't moving smoothly and synchronously, it can lead to a host of complications and discomfort throughout the body. Notably clients report great improvements in their: migraines, head aches, sinus congestion, TMJD, neck pain, low back pain, anxiety, concussion recovery and more.

We utilize 20 minute adjusting times, to help you slow down, and to be able to connect to and release stress in multiple different systems.
When we slow down and listen to your body, we are able to bring more ease into the Adjustment, making them less jarring, and easier to integrate.
