Manual therapy is a type of therapy that places targeted pressure on your soft tissue in the effort to relieve tension, decrease pain and mobilize the joints and muscles. Types of manual therapy techniques I use are:
- Joint mobilization-application of pressure to joints to help improve joints mobility and range of motion.
- Soft tissue mobilization-physical stretching and application of pressure to the muscles or ligaments to relieve tension, decrease inflammation and improve flexibility.
- Myofascial release-specific targeting of the fascia (connective tissue surrounding muscles and joints) to relieve pressure on the joints and muscles.
- Neuromuscular techniques-MET (Muscle Energy Techniques) and PNF (Proprioception Neuromuscular Facilitation)
- Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization-the use of tools to mobilize the muscles and joints. (percussion device)
Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular therapy is a system of massage techniques that were developed in the 1930's by Dr. Stanley Lief in England. It uses a holistic approach towards healing, emphasizing and stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. Neuromuscular therapy also enhances the function of joints and muscles, and accelerates the overall healing process by facilitating the release of endorphins.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
