AGGRESSIVE DEEP TISSUE

Deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).

RECIPRICAL INHIBITION

Reciprical Inhibition is the process of muscles on one side of a joint relaxing to accommodate contraction on the other side of that joint. Joints are controlled by two opposing sets of muscles, extensors and flexors, which must work in synchrony for smooth movement.

PNF

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation stretching, is a set of stretching techniques commonly used in clinical environments to enhance both active and passive range of motion in order to improve motor performance and aid rehabilitation.

FACILITATED STRETCHING

Facilitated stretching incorporates active motion and isometric effort to improve flexibility and enhance motor learning in the process. 

IDENTIFYING COMPENSATION PATTERNS

Sometimes the body adjusts to use different muscles to work around injury, sometimes it pulls new muscles into a movement because the muscles that it wants to use are too weak. We help correct these compensation patterns.

REDUCING NERVE IMPINGEMENT

Nerve impingement occurs when tight muscles impinge or pinch nerves. Nerves communicate from the brain through the spinal cord and nervous system. Pressure on the nerves can cause interference with the transmitted signal, resulting in pain, numbness and tingling.
