Myofascial release therapy

Fascia is a 3D soft tissue network that supports, protects and connects every structure of the human body. Releasing fascial restrictions throughout the body helps alleviate acute/chronic conditions, pain, dysfunction and restricted motion.
Fascial and muscle releases are more profound resulting in a significant reduction in joint and muscle pain with better long-term results than traditional massage; this is due to the slow deep approach used.
The client can gain a deeper understanding about the cause of the pain allowing the body to release naturally and with this new awareness and understanding can learn how to change/let go of patterns in their life that will help to alleviate similar symptoms in the future.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger points are the painful points in muscle in response to pressure. They can refer pain to other areas of the body and can limit lengthening of the muscle where they reside and can cause muscle shortening in their referral zones.
By applying concentrated finger pressure for a few minutes the cycles of spasm and pain reduce and then cease.

Active Tissue Release/Muscle Energy Techniques

Restrictions are located within the muscle; the client is directed to move in a precise and controlled manner against precisely controlled counterforce by the therapist.
