Deep Tissue: The areas of the body holding deep tension or bound by scar tissue are treated with deep pressure through leverage and by using the thumb, forearm or elbow as a point of contact. To facilitate release and decrease discomfort, the client often participates with active range of motion during treatment. This active movement creates a chemical release in the muscles allowing for greater range of motion. Some of the deep tissue techniques used are trigger point therapy, myofascial mobilization and cross-fiber friction.
Myofascial Release/Mobilization (MR): Uses slow strokes that elongate the connective tissue fabric known as fascia. Myofascial work restores movement and flexibility of the body and addresses, releases, helps release those "glued areas that feel stuck."
Sports Massage: This treatment is great for athletes of all kinds. The client participates in deep stretching, while the therapist releases deep tension through trigger pointing and other massage techniques.
