Everyone has a doctor in him or her;

we just have to help it in its work. Hippocrates

Edward Cortright comes to his current practice through personal experience. After suffering for years from migraines, Edward tried Integrated Manual Therapy (IMT) and has been migraine free for over 20 years.  He also found that IMT helped him on a cognitive level to deal with dyslexia.  These experiences led Edward to become a massage therapist, to study IMT, and to use his hands in the healing arts. It has been a long journey, but Edward knows that at this point in his life he would not be satisfied if he did not see where the journey would take him. Examples of techniques Edward uses in his practice are Craniosacral Therapy (CST) and Myofascial Release.

Edward’s goal is to provide a place and time for his clients to relax deeply into their own wisdom of healing and rejuvenation. Sessions begin with discussing health goals and spending time listening to the body through light touch.  Edward strives to provide a balance between creating a touch that nurtures and honors his client’s inner wisdom and communicating information clients need to feel comfortable and safe during sessions.

Listening to his clients through verbal discussion and body rhythms help direct where therapy will begin and determine which techniques will be most beneficial.

Through this work, Edward can help clients:

· Reduce stress

· Enhance immunity

· Promote circulation

· Reduce pain

· Ease labor for expectant mothers

· Enhance recovery from trauma



IMT can also provide relief from specific issues like:

· Limited range of motion

· Headaches

· Injuries

· Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

· Neck and back pain

Testimonial:

 I immediately felt comfortable when I sat and reviewed my symptoms with Ed. He asked revealing questions, had me stand and walk before beginning his treatment. The treatment was itself painless, comfortable and relaxing. Following the treatment Ed talked me through what he had learned from both mapping and treating my body. My body immediately felt more refreshed and alive that it had prior to his treatment. I highly recommend Ed's Manual Therapy, Myofascial treatment.   R.R. Asheville, NC

I came to Ed with knotted, painful muscles in my neck, and at the base of my skull. I was unable to turn my head, unable to work, and I was in excruciating pain. During the session I could feel the energy movement, and noticeable changes. By the time Ed finished, I had greater range of motion, and much less pain. Over the following days I experienced more and more healing. I have nothing to attribute it to other than my session with Ed. Susan S, Asheville.

Thanks again for your help and time. I have to say that my arm was and is so much better! It worked.   Jane H., Asheville.
