When you visit cardea you will be introduced to an advanced clinical technology called Network Spinal Analysis and to a series of mind and body enhancing exercises called Somato Respiratory Integration.  Both methodologies were developed by our mentor and colleague Dr. Donald Epstein and they form the core of our Wellness Programs. Central to our approach is wellness education in exercise and nutrition, and healthy perspective. We help you and those you care about achieve and maintain a free and clear, fully functioning nervous system able to create sustainable, vibrant health...for life!

One of the intents of NSA is to use the least amount of force to allow the greatest amount of learning to occur in your nervous system. Your nervous system is exquisitely sensitive and capable of responding specifically to very subtle stimuli than higher forces.

In this way our approach is perfectly aligned with how your body works, and is suitable for anyone, regardless of age or impediment. We precisely and gently contacts areas of critical tension along the spine to cue the brain to release spinal, neural, and muscular tension.

When your nervous system is allowed to function unimpeded, your body can regain balance and brain-body communication is restored. With a strong, free and vital body you’ll be able to fully embrace and enjoy whatever it is that brings you the most passion and joy in life.

You can receive care at cardea by the visit, on a month-to-month basis, or as one of our popular 2, 6 or 12 month Wellness Programs: Body Revitalization, Body Transformation, and Body Awakening. During your initial visits, Dr. Higney will evaluate your current situation and discuss your short and long-term goals with you before helping you decide on the right program for you.
