Through the use of touch (e.g., massage, deep tissue manipulation, movement awareness, energy balancing, exercise, and others) to either improve bodily structure and function (e.g., circulation and relaxation), or as a therapeutic modality to reduce pain and heal damaged musculoskeletal units. During a 30, 60, or 90 minute session a number of mixed modalities that can include any of the following - massage, craniosacral therapy, trigger point, facilitated stretch, cup, tape and scrape.
pilates + movement
Pilates is a limitless exercise method that transforms the body, provides optimal body balance including improved posture, core strength and increased flexibility. Pilates is a spring-based resistance workout that challenges the muscles and is available to all ages, can be modified for injuries and goals and serves as a baseline for many of the exercises that are typically included within a Physical Therapy program.
cup, tape, scrape
Cupping/MFD (myofascial decompression) uses negative pressure to pull tissue away from an area of restriction to aid in tissue glide, circulation, pain relief and recovery. Taping applies K-tape to your body to gently lift your skin that creates a microscopic space between your tissues to help with pain and swelling. Also adds support to muscles and joints, improve posture and increase athletic performance. Scraping uses medical grade steel tools to treat fascial restrictions, tendonitis and scar tissue.
facilitated stretch
Focusing on PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) stretching, which takes the muscle to an end range, light contraction of the targeted muscle and then moving a little deeper into the stretch. Benefits of stretch extend over the course of days while the body and fascia reorganize around the newly gained range
