Massage Therapy

Massage therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, specifically, the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints for the purpose of optimizing health.

Massage therapy treatment has a therapeutic effect on the body and optimizes health and well-being by acting on the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems. Physical function can be developed, maintained and improved; and physical dysfunction and pain and the effects of stress can be relieved or prevented through the use of Massage Therapy.

Osteopathy treatment

Osteopathy treatment is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on, therapy that works to achieve pain-free movement and aims to restore health and balance across all body systems. The focus of treatment is on mobilizing and strengthening the bones, muscles, fascia and joints to positively affect the body’s nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems with the ultimate goal of restoring function and eliminating pain.

Active Release Technique

Active Release Therapy (ART) is a patented treatment technique for soft tissue injuries (muscles, nerves, tendons and fascia surrounding the muscles) with the goal of restoring the smooth movement of tissues and to release any entrapped nerves or blood vessels. ART involves stretching muscles and tendons and applying pressure to break down adhesions that have accumulated over time due to injury or overuse. 

Adhesions prevent normal smooth movement of tissues and can lead to chronic inflammation, pain, joint stress, fluid accumulation, poor circulation or low oxygen and nerve entrapment. ART helps to release these adhesions, increase the flow of blood, decrease pain and increase function, flexibility and mobility of the affected area.
