Each session is individually customized to meet your needs, whether you are seeking relief from acute injuries, chronic pain, or overall systemic imbalances.

What is Daoist Neuro-Energetic Balancing (DNEB)?

Daoist Neuro-Energetic Balancing is an advanced energetic method taught within the Stillness-Movement Medical Qigong lineage.
DNEB works directly with the body’s energetic structures, autonomic nervous system, and connective tissues to release blockages, restore flow, and promote deep systemic healing.

DNEB sessions can be integrated into bodywork treatments or scheduled as a focused energetic session.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle manual therapy that works with the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
By easing restrictions in this system, CST helps regulate the nervous system, relieve chronic pain, and promote overall health.

Craniosacral Therapy may benefit:

• Chronic musculoskeletal pain

• Migraines and tension headaches

• Stress-related disorders and anxiety

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

• Sleep disturbances and nervous system dysregulation

Located conveniently in Midtown Tallahassee, Dao Therapeutics offers Craniosacral Therapy sessions that incorporate additional energetic support for deeper, lasting results.

What is Medical Massage Therapy?

Medical Massage Therapy focuses on addressing specific injuries, chronic conditions, and dysfunctions through clinical techniques such as deep tissue massage, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, and therapeutic stretching.
This targeted approach accelerates healing, reduces pain, and improves functional mobility.

Conditions commonly treated with Medical Massage Therapy in Tallahassee include:

• Chronic neck and back pain

• Shoulder and hip injuries

• Sciatica and nerve entrapments

• Post-surgical rehabilitation

• Stress-related muscular tension

What is Sports Massage Therapy?

Sports Massage Therapy is ideal for athletes and active individuals looking to improve performance, prevent injuries, and speed recovery.
Sessions are customized for pre-event preparation, post-event recovery, or ongoing maintenance, addressing repetitive strain patterns and promoting optimal muscle function.

What is Myofascial Release Therapy?

Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) is a gentle, sustained-pressure technique used to release restrictions in the fascia — the connective tissue network throughout the body.
By freeing fascial adhesions, MFR improves mobility, reduces pain, and restores structural balance.

Myofascial Release Therapy may help with:

• Chronic stiffness and musculoskeletal tension

• Postural dysfunctions

• Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue

• Scar tissue restriction

• Stress-related pain syndromes

How Should I Dress for My Session?

• Daoist Neuro-Energetic Balancing (DNEB): You may wear a shirt or remove it depending on your comfort level. No jeans, please.

• Craniosacral Therapy: Wear loose, comfortable clothing such as sweatpants, yoga pants, or shorts. Please avoid jeans or skirts.

• Medical Massage, Sports Massage, and Myofascial Release:

  • Elastic-banded underwear or shorts are required.

  • Women may wear a sports bra if preferred.

  • Clients may choose to leave additional clothing on beyond these minimum requirements to maintain their comfort.

Proper attire ensures effective treatment access while allowing for necessary therapeutic stretching and maintaining professional boundaries for both therapist and client.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions depends on your goals and condition severity:

• Acute injuries: 3 to 5 sessions are usually effective.

• Chronic pain conditions: 7 to 10 sessions or more may be recommended.

• Maintenance care: Biweekly or monthly sessions help sustain improvements and prevent re-injury.

• Pain management with Medical Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, or DNEB:
  It is strongly recommended to schedule three sessions within a 10-day period when beginning treatment.
  This approach prevents habitual tension patterns from reforming and supports the fastest resolution of pain symptoms.

Treatment planning will be discussed during your initial visit at Dao Therapeutics in Tallahassee.

What is Your Cancellation Policy?

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours' notice.

• Cancellations made within 24 hours will be charged 50% of the session fee.

• No-shows or cancellations made within 3 hours of the session start time will be charged the full session fee.

Your cooperation helps maintain fairness for all clients and allows for smooth scheduling.

Can I Combine Different Modalities in One Session?

Yes.
It is common at Dao Therapeutics to integrate techniques during a session, such as blending Craniosacral Therapy with Myofascial Release or combining Medical Massage Therapy with Daoist Neuro-Energetic Balancing.

For clients seeking a full, focused energetic healing session, a dedicated DNEB appointment is recommended.
