TSUBO Massage Celebrates CranioSacral Therapy Awareness Month

Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – TSUBO Massage celebrates CranioSacral Therapy Awareness Month in April with relaxing bodywork sessions that release tension, relieve pain and dysfunction and improve health and performance.

For the months of April and May, TSUBO Massage is offering first-time clients a $20 discount off all CranioSacral Therapy sessions.
 
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system – comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This approach was developed by Dr. John E. Upledger, one of Time Magazine’s “next wave of innovators,” after years of university testing and clinical research.

Today, CranioSacral Therapy is used by healthcare professionals worldwide to detect and relieve the root causes of chronic headaches and migraines, neck and back pain, fatigue, central nervous system disorders and many other conditions. Because it is so gentle, it has been shown to be effective for people of all ages, from newborns to seniors.

“TSUBO has been offering CranioSacral Therapy for more than eight years with remarkable results,” said Molly Kerns, owner of TSUBO. “By complementing the body's natural healing processes, this therapy is used as a preventive measure to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction,” she added.


Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve functioning of the central nervous system.

Williamstown's Images Cinema Set for May 22 Reopening

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Images Cinema will be making up for lost time when the non-profit venue reopens this month after a major renovation and redesign.
 
"First Look," a two-week festival screening some of the biggest films of the last year, will usher in a new era for the century-old Spring Street venue.
 
The Oscar winner for Best Picture is just one of more than a dozen films that will be shown during the festival, which will run from May 22 through June 4.
 
"After a long, cold winter, we're so excited to fully spring back into action at Images," Executive Director Dan Hudson said in a news release. "What better way to celebrate with the community than by showing great films, some of which we have not yet been able to present?"
 
Images members will be able to see films ranging from "One Battle After Another" to "Zootopia 2" for free. Non-members will be able to attend for just $5 during the two-week festival.
 
The theater itself figures to be part of the draw.
 
After closing for renovations in October, Images will reopen with a new configuration, including a 70-seat main theater, an 18-seat second theater and a 15-seat lounge available for "intimate" screenings and events. The main screen will feature Dolby Atmos immersive sound and 4K laser projection. The second screen will have 7.1 surround sound and 2K laser projection.
