MODALITIES
Myofascial release therapy is a type of gentle, constant massage that releases tightness and pain throughout your myofascial tissues. I will locate trigger points, or knots, in your fascial tissues. Then, I will gently apply pressure until they feel the tension release.
I have trained with with legendary physiotherapist John F. Barnes in this discipline.
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on massaging technique. It uses a light touch to release tension around your body's connective tissue network called the fascia. CST promotes pain relief from headaches, neck pain and the side effects of cancer treatment and much more.
Vibroacoustic sound therapy is a sound technology that uses audible sound vibrations to decrease stress, promote relaxation, and improve health.
The goal of primal reflex release technique (PRRT) is to normalize the body's primal reflexes, which include the startle and withdraw impulses. These reflexes are thought to be overstimulated in patients experiencing pain, which may maintain their discomfort or even cause it to worsen.
Active Release Therapy (ART) is used to treat symptoms with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Its design is 3 fold: to restore free and unimpeded motion of all soft tissues. to release entrapped nerves, vasculature and lymphatics. to re-establish optimal texture, resilience and function of soft tissues.
