Bodywork
Bodywork is a targeted, assessment-driven form of manual therapy that hones in on key problem areas to reduce pain and promote better movement. Techniques used may include myofascial release, NMT, stretching, guided movement and more.
Myofascial Release (MFR)
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a technique that creates a deep stretch in the tissue to free chronic tension from the body. Used as the primary technique in Rolfing, ART, and other advanced therapies, MFR is excellent for improving posture, reducing tension-related pain, and better overall movement. This technique is used in our Deep Tissue Massage, Bodywork Therapy and Sports Recovery sessions where needed.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular Massage (NMT) is a deep tissue method with a precise focus on muscle bellies and tendons. Consisting of long compressive holds, NMT is used to treat chronic or acute pain, release deeply-guarded tension, and sports recovery. This technique is used in our Deep Tissue Massage, Bodywork Therapy and Sports Recovery sessions where needed.
Structural Integration
Consisting of a series of sessions, the Structural Integration Method is an advanced style of treatment designed to fully unfold and release long standing tension patterns rooted in the physical, behavioral, and energetic history of the client. Best for unique and complicated issues.
