MASSAGE THERAPY
ORTHOPEDIC MASSAGE
Chronic pain is often a result of poor posture, overuse of muscle groups, or scar tissue from previous injuries. This can put stress on the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves in the body. Orthopedic massage can help to alleviate these issues by assessing areas of restricted movement, identifying muscle imbalances, releasing tension in shortened or tight muscles, and strengthening weak and inhibited muscles. Techniques such as deep tissue, myofascial, trigger point, friction, stretching, and joint capsule work are used to treat these conditions.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Mobility, injury prevention, recovery, and rehabilitation are crucial factors in maintaining optimal performance for athletes. Sports massage involves a combination of techniques tailored to the specific need of the athlete, before, during, and after events. Through friction, compression, stretching. and neural reset, this type of therapy may release adhesions, scar tissue, and trigger points, while also restoring optimal muscle function and range of motion. Additionally, massage can alleviate stress and anxiety associated with intense training and competition, promoting relaxation and mental clarity which are essential for peak athletic performance.
neural reset therapy
Reciprocal inhibition is a neurological occurence where the muscles on one side of a joint are relaxed, while the muscles on the opposing side contract. neural reset therapy is performed using a combination of jostling, static holding, recoil tapping, reflex jerking, and pulsating. These movements stimulate mechanoreceptors and send signals to the brain., which will reset the nervous system, optimizing the muscle neuroligically. This form of bodywork is unique because muscular pain, trigger points, and tightness, may be relieved in a matter of seconds.
