Trame Vibrational Therapy
Not only does Trame Vibrational Therapy work affect the physical structure of the body, it also balances emotional and mental disturbances, creating clarity of thought and emotional stability. People experience greater joy and ease in life on many levels. There has been huge success in balancing cases of depression/anxiety with as little as 3-5 Trame sessions.

Qigong
Chaoyi Fanhuan Qigong, (CFQ) is a complete healing system, founded by Master Yap Soon Yeong, from Penang, Malaysia. It provides an add-on to treatment for people to accelerate their healing and release stress of the past to arrive at physical and emotional well-being. The most important aspect of CFQ Qigong is to bring about mind/body connection to facilitate mind-body-spirit harmony.

Muscle Activation Techniques
MAT uses range of motion assessments that cover every joint in the body. Although treatments can range in terms of overall success rate, an increase in range of motion and strength can be achieved and maintained within a single session. The end result of a successful treatment is greater muscle strength, increased range of motion and decreased/eliminated pain & inflammation.

Reiki
There are times of severe stress where a comfort treatment like Reiki is just the thing you need. Madeleine tunes in to your higher self to receive intuitive messages that are meant for your spiritual and personal growth while opening and balancing each chakra of your body. A Reiki treatment starts out with a whole body Qi gong massage with specific focus on areas of blockage or stress. This clearing treatment leaves you feeling completely relaxed and grounded from the inside out and ready to receive the healing energies.

But there is a definite time to do energy healing and a time to work on the physical aspects. At Apana Bodywork, we take pride in knowing what is needed and when it is needed in order to help each individual to heal quickly and thoroughly.

Cindy believes everyone wants to have a pain-free lifestyle, where they are physically capable of doing everything they want to do. Her objective is to keep her patients feeling this way, preserving their mobility and strength as long as possible. She wants to help them age gracefully.

Cindy has been practicing chiropractic care for over 30 years. She always knew that she wanted to pursue the health field. When she was an undergrad, taking pre-med in university, she hurt her back and ended up seeing a chiropractor. It turned her life around.

It was through this experience she realized chiropractic has the power to improve the quality of people’s lives more than anything else she ever witnessed. And she came to believe her purpose here on Earth is to be a chiropractor. The body has an inborn intelligence; it knows how to heal itself. As chiropractors, they just help this process along.

Along with mobility and strength of the body, brain health also plays a huge role in helping us live to our maximum potential. We’re led to understand brain health naturally declines as we age, but it doesn’t have to. Posture and gait (how you walk) are hugely related to brain health; it all ties together. This is why working with concussions and brain injuries has also become a big part of her role as a chiropractor.

After seeing Cindy, patients learn they don’t have to deteriorate as they age.
