Stretch massage works by lengthening your muscles, allowing you to move more easily. It also increases the range of motion in joints that are often locked or stiffened up.
The Graston Technique is a state-of-the-art technique designed to treat acute and chronic soft tissue conditions and injuries.
The Graston technique is an innovative, patented soft-tissue mobilization technique in which the doctor uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to break up scar tissue and myofascial adhesions.
This type of massage allows you to enter more deeply into a state of relaxation as the therapist works to relieve muscle pain and tension. The heat within the rocks relaxes the muscles, making them more pliable.
Trigger pointing assists pain to diminish and the tight point of a muscle to soften and relax. Trigger pointing enables pain to diminish and the tight point of muscle (under the therapists thumb) softens and relaxes.
Sports massage is proven to release and reduce tension in muscles, improve circulation and encourage the removal of waste products such as lactic acid during high intensity activity and can help to relax the body. All of this helps promote recovery and reduces the chance of muscle injury.
Deep tissue massages are used to break up scar tissue and break down muscle adhesions (the “knots” that we feel in our muscles are muscle adhesions, which are bands of rigid and painful muscle tissue). These knots can inhibit our circulation and cause pain and inflammation.
