Methods and Practices.
-
Myofascial Release (MFR): Gentle, sustained pressure to release restrictions in the fascia.
-
Trigger Point Therapy: Applying pressure to specific hyperirritable knots (trigger points) to relieve pain.
-
Deep Tissue Massage: Targeting deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.
-
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT): Addressing nerve compression and muscle dysfunction.
-
Friction: Deep circular movements to break down adhesions.
-
Stretching & Muscle Energy Techniques (MET): Active and passive movements to improve range of motion. ​
​​
-
E-stim (Electrical Stimulation): A device sends electrical pulses via electrodes placed on the skin, mimicking natural nerve signals.
-
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Targets nerves to block pain signals or trigger endorphin release for pain relief.
-
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation): Causes muscles to contract and relax, improving blood flow, strength, and tone, aiding rehab after injury or immobilization.
