Mindful Bodywork and Movement

  • Craniosacral Therapy(CST) is based on the osteopathic principle that the body functions with its own intelligence and an inherent ability to heal.  CST facilitates this natural ability by releasing soft-tissue restrictions that cause imbalance in the body and interfere with optimal function and health.

    Robert is a certified Craniosacral Therapist (CST) through the Upledger Institute.

  • Visceral Manipulation (VM) is a manual therapy that focuses on the body’s internal organs (viscera). The VM philosophy holds that each organ has an optimal position and range of motion within the body. An organ's function is compromised when its natural movement or position is impaired. With precise, gentle techniques, VM helps the body release restrictions and restore mobility and function to organs and their surrounding structures. Learn more here

  • Fascia is the collagen-based connective tissue that surrounds every body structure. It forms a web-like system that not only surrounds the large structures of bones, muscles, and organs but also penetrates these fibers and tissues down to the cellular level.  The myofascial system is fascia's structural and functional interaction with the muscular system (myo meaning muscle).  Myofascial therapy is a manual technique to release adhesions in the myofascial system.  Myofascial therapy is known to increase joint range of motion, relieve joint and muscular pain, relieve headaches, release neural impingements, facilitate circulation, and improve chronic pain conditions related to postural imbalances and muscular tightness.

  • Therapeutic movement and corrective exercise will take your progress to the next level, empowering you with the knowledge and tools to relieve pain, counterbalance stress, balance posture, and condition your body for greater resilience and performance.  Exercises are largely based on the principles of the Pilates Method and may also include other forms of resistance training, flexibility training, and body awareness work.

     Pilates is a method of movement and exercise designed to improve strength, flexibility, and awareness. It is named after its founder and creator, Joseph H. Pilates. Emphasizing proper breathing, smooth, rhythmic movement, and correct alignment, the Pilates method focuses on quality of movement over forced repetitions, and leaves you feeling grounded, well-conditioned, and capable.

    Robert is a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher (NCPT). He received his certification training through Balanced Body.

Meet Robert

Robert Head, BA, LMT, CST, NCPT

I created Bodywork Balance to share my passion for learning about the body and its profound healing capacities. The modalities I practice and teach can help you move better, improve performance, and relieve pain. But that is just the beginning. When one begins to move with greater vitality and ease, something else happens. Emotional blocks are often released, and new choices arise with grace and simplicity. My greatest reward in doing this work over the last two decades is seeing others empowered to find their own path to wholeness. It is my deepest honor to partner with each person I work with on their healing journey.
