Ischemic Inhibition – A proven method that works in one of two ways: it briefly restricts your blood supply and stimulates your body’s healing mechanism, or discourages your motor nerves from firing so frequently.

PNF/MET – Here your own strength is used to relax and lengthen tight muscles. After a short phase of muscular contraction there is a window of opportunity where the therapist can passively lengthen your tight or contracted muscle. This contraction relaxation does not occur naturally in day-to-day living.

Articulation – Your joints are gently moved stimulating the absorption of synovial fluid which feeds your restricted or damaged joints. If your joints are not moving properly then they will suffer from reduced nutrition.

Deep Tissue Massage – Directed at specific muscles, tendons and connective tissues which are then treated with greater pressure directed below the superficial tissue layers. Deep tissue work is often done slowly, where tissues are allowed to give rather than be massaged over.

Soft Tissue Release (STR) - The technique involves applying precise force during a specific stretch performed in multiple planes of movement. The aim is to appeal to the autonomic nervous system in a way that leads to spontaneous release of the injured muscle, thus regaining the original resting length of that muscle. The result: fast and permanent reorganization of scar tissue, the targeted muscle(s) return to the proper resting length, muscle imbalances are corrected, associated pain is decreased or eliminated altogether, and muscle performance is improved.
