Myofascial Release
This hands-on technique seeks to free the body from the grip of tight fascia, or connective tissue, thus restoring normal alignment and function and reducing pain. Using their hands, therapists apply mild, sustained pressure to gently stretch and soften the fascia.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders.
Postural Assessment
Follows the chain of muscular imbalances and dysfunction to a source. Good posture maximizes the function of muscles and joints, aiding in well-being and performance. The goal is to develop and maintain the optimal balance between muscles and their relationship with the skeletal system. Faulty biomechanics, previous injury and psychosocial reasons all affect posture and ultimately, the treatment approach taken.
