The osteopathic-based techniques she uses are tensegrity biomechanics, cranial osteopathy, myofascial release, strain counter strain, balancing ligaments, fluid and membrane tension, and emotional release. Her goal is to reestablish and maintain the body’s original natural relationship with itself through advanced structural therapy.

These are the osteopathic techniques used:

• Matrix repatterning/biotensegrity
• Craniosacral therapy/myofascial release

The electro-acuscope, a microcurrent modality, is used in conjunction with Dr. Hickman’s therapy sessions. The acuscope is effective in chronic pain control, fluid circulation, trauma rehabilitation, anti-aging, and accelerated healing. The instrument’s feedback-modulated microprocessors provide a gentle energy that “nudges” the tissue, thereby accelerating the body’s own natural healing abilities. It monitors and regulates the body’s electrical activity at the cellular level by restoring the cells’ normal charge through a modulated microcurrent. Healing occurs due to electrical chemical reactions that increase movement of materials in and out of the cells.
