Monthly Specials

We welcome summer as we welcome our new and returning clients. As the state re-opens and the masks come off, here at High Desert we continue playing our part in keeping everyone safe. As per the governor’s guidance, “The state will continue to follow CDC guidance with respect to face-coverings: Masks will remain required for unvaccinated individuals; businesses, workplaces and tribes may continue to require masks for employees, customers or visitors on the premises, regardless of vaccination status, at their discretion.”

Rolf Method Structural Integration is a hands-on bodywork therapy for creating greater ease, improving posture, decreasing symptoms of pain and discomfort, and speeding recovery from injuries. Structural Integration (SI) addresses the underlying causes of pain by working on the strain patterns that occur throughout the entire body. Structural Integrators assess the range of motion in joints and limbs, observe walking patterns and posture, then work the muscles, fascia, ligaments and joints to create more length, increased range of motion, improved posture and flexibility. Often done as a series of ten treatments to get at the root causes of pain, individual sessions are useful for quick relief of specific symptoms. All of High Desert’s Structural Integrators graduated from an internationally certified program and were massage therapists prior to training in SI.

We have tools inside our bodies that are specifically designed to help us de-stress and sleep is one of the most important we can access. The pineal gland sits deep inside our cranial vault and is part of our endocrine system. The pineal gland creates melatonin that is then secreted between the hours of 10pm and 2am to help us go to sleep and stay asleep. The gland is stimulated by natural light and sun light. If we stand outside around noon for ten minutes, and look toward the sun, with our eyes closed, the light penetrates the frontal bone of our forehead stimulating the pineal gland to begin producing melatonin. The more we do this, the more accurate the pineal gland becomes in timing the production of melatonin and knowing when to begin the secretion process for sleep.
