Treatment Introduction
Pain Relief: This treatment is isolated and directly targets the affected areas. Muscle grouping, along with posture and gait, are used to analyze the pain. By working alongside the Nervous System, we encourage muscles to deactivate their intense firing which has kept them in a "Pain Cycle". Detailed work on joints and stretches are performed. Client may feel uncomfortable at times but is kept within their pain tolerance level.
We use advanced techniques such as: Myofascial Trigger Point, Neuromuscular Facilitation, Proprioreception, Deep Tissue and Strain Counter-Strain.
Stress Release: This treatment has firm pressure over a larger area to encourage blood flow and muscle relaxation. At times, the natural flow of fresh blood (with vital oxygen and nutrients) is hindered due to: Stress, Injury, Trauma, Sports, etc. Additionally, when blood becomes stagnant, it limits its ability to carry away the metabolic waste (old blood, dead/dying cells and tissue), and excess chemicals from surgery or medication. During this massage the client is tranquil and may drift into a meditated state, whereby allowing the body to decompress and muscles to relax, resulting in healing.
