Celebrate as Summer Approaches

If you’re close enough, visit a beach!

Most people enjoy the sights, tranquil sounds, and relaxing feeling a trip to the ocean generously offers. The sea air, temperature, wind, and sunshine are counted among the many beneficial elements you’ll encounter on a trip to a New England beach.
 
THE SUN . . . Vitamin D, in known for its immune boosting properties, ability to help the body absorb calcium (a building block for strong bones), and helps muscles and brain cells function well! Sunshine also has the ability to regulate mood by increasing serotonin! Please enjoy in moderation.
 
THE WATER . . . Swimming in the ocean is a full-body workout, improving cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and flexibility. The saltwater can also soothe the skin and act as a natural exfoliant. Swimming in the ocean in the Northeast this time of year is basically a cold water immersion. You may have heard of the currently popular “ice bath” or “cold plunge”! This is more than a passing fad. The truth is getting into cold water can reduce muscle soreness and inflammation by constricting blood vessels and decreasing metabolic activity. This can lead to faster recovery after exercise, increase energy levels, and potentially strengthened immune system.
 

THE WIND . . . Even the wind can help! Feeling a cool wind on your face can promote blood circulation, and reduce inflammation.

What an exhilarating experience!

What is Osteopathy in the Cranial Field?

Dr. Elisa Mercuro, DO, Functional Medicine Certified Doctor, Obesity Medicine Certified Doctor
 
Craniosacral osteopathy (also known as cranial osteopathy) is a form of osteopathic therapy developed By Dr. William Garner Sutherland – a student of Dr. A.T. Still. Dr. Sutherland was a student at the America School of Osteopathy in Kirksville, Missouri (Dr. Mercuro’s alma mater) when he had a thoughtful revelation while studying the surfaces of the cranial bones. The shape of the bones prompted years of further study and self-experimentation where he developed the principles of osteopathy in the Cranial Field.   
 
Osteopathic Treatment in the Cranial Field is a powerful treatment modality. If you have ever been on a river or in some type of water current, you know that it is much easier to move with the tide than . . .
