Remedial Massage
Not to be confused with Deep Tissue.
Remedial massage is a targeted treatment, designed to test your body's mechanical/functional errors, in order to determine where your aches and pains are coming from. Whether it is soft tissue or something else entirely, this testing will establish your treatment plan. This style of massage is a multi-modality practice using different styles of massage and techniques for muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue. Remedial massage can also help with chronic concerns.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is the application of sterile, single use needles into muscle, fascia, tendons, ligaments and joints. Dry Needling targets trigger points, relieves muscle tension and soreness and stimulates a healing response.
Myo-Fascial Cupping
Myofascial Cupping is a unique treatment used by therapists to promote nutrient-rich blood to areas, providing increased circulation to stretch muscle tissue.
Taping
It is a procedure that uses athletic tape (pressure-sensitive tape similar to surgical tape or elastic therapeutic tape), attached to the skin, to physically hold muscles or bones at a certain position. This reduces pain and aids recovery.
Gua sha/Scraping
Gua sha is a traditional Chinese healing method in which a trained professional uses a smooth-edged tool to stroke your skin while they press on it. This motion raises small, red, rash-like dots that show under your skin called petechiae. People use gua sha to treat chronic pain all over their body.
