Therapies

Muscle Therapy

Our therapists are trained in therapeutic massage, if you prefer a relaxation or a deep tissue massage please inform the therapist before they start your massage. It is the responsibility of the CLIENT to express to the therapist whether the pressure being applied is appropriate and meets with your expectations. We want you to have the best experience with massage that you can have. We value and learn from your honest feed back.

Tissue Flossing

Floss introduces the use of compression floss bands to help reduce tissue edema, improve movement and modulate discomfort.

The term ‘flossing’ is commonly associated with the image of a thick rubber band wrapped around an athlete’s large muscles, however; ‘floss bands’ are an excellent tool for clinical care and a valuable tool for your patient’s and athlete’s self care programs.

Active Release Techniques

ART has been developed, refined, and patented by P. Michael Leahy, DC, CCSP. Dr. Leahy noticed that his patients' symptoms seemed to be related to changes in their soft tissue that could be felt by hand. By observing how muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves responded to different types of work, Dr. Leahy was able to consistently resolve over 90% of his patients' problems. He now teaches and certifies health care providers all over the world to use ART.

IASTM

The term IASTM or “Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation” is commonly paired with the image of steel tools and deep tissue work that can cause redness and bruising on the skin. 

Current evidence informs us that IASTM techniques don’t need to be aggressive to deliver superior patient outcomes, the tools may be hard, but the techniques are soft, most of the time.

Cupping

Yes cupping, is that technique that creates those circles that you see on athletes bodies.

Cupping, introduces the concept of skin/fascial decompression (massage would be classified as compression therapy) to help improve tissue mobility, enhance movement and modulate discomfort* with the use of myofascial cups
