Cupping
Therapy
A deep tissue technique that uses negative pressure to pull tissue into the cupping device, increasing blood flow to area, improve inflammation and pain from fascial adhesions.
Triggerpoint
Therapy
Application of pressure to tender muscle tissue in order to relieve pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body.
Active
Release
Therapy
Treats adhesion in the body’s muscle tissue by combining soft tissue manipulation and movement.
Deep
Tissue
Pressure during massage that reaches the deeper tissues. This is done slowly and with intention. Never with the intention to inflict pain. That is not a good indicator for an effective treatment. Increasing pressure layer by layer with the intent to illicit a remodeling effect of fibrous fascial tissue and recalibrating the nervous system.
Myofascial
Release
Therapy
Hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.
