Therapy begins with first relaxing the nervous system & muscle tissues to prepare the body for gentle muscle contractions that will assist in improving range of motion & function to naturally reduce pain.
Techniques used in treatment:
*Vibration Therapy:
Osteo-Weighted Tuning forks vibrate at specific (relaxing) Hertz and are designed to calm the nervous system, release restricted tissues and stimulate fluid movement to help flush out inflammation.
*Gentle Myofascial Scraping:
A metal 'scraper' is gently glided across the skin to 'iron out' any 'sticky' myofascial tissue found just beneath the skin that can hinder smooth muscle glide.
*Isometric Muscle Contractions:
Contracting the muscle opposite of a tight muscle, can help to gently stretch the restricted muscle to quickly improve range of motion and reduce pain.
*Neuromuscular re-education:
Combines trigger point therapy with gentle muscle contractions.
The brain will focus on the muscles being 'activated' (Pressure is applied to a muscle while it is contracting & relaxing) which encourages re-activation of tight & guarded muscle fibers for improved function.
*Massage Therapy:
Relaxes the nervous system and pushes inflammation toward the lymph nodes located around the body to promote natural detoxification and healing,
