Treatment techniques

  • This technique is utilized for muscular trigger points, scar tissue, and fascial tissue. A small needle is used to penetrate specific tissue to improve mobility, function, and pain. Electrical-stimulation can then be utilized for added therapeutic benefit.

  • A technique directly related to the myofascial system. Myofascial work is a hands-on treatment approach to improve pain and mobility of scar tissue, organs, and the muscular system.

  • A hands-on technique to gently encourage mobility and blood flow of internal organs (viscera), ligaments, and connective tissue.

  • A hands-on approach to encourage improved mobility and overall discomfort of a scar after a surgery or event.

  • A hands-on approach to improving mobility, pain, and tension anywhere in the body. This can include joint manipulation or muscular work.

  • Specific exercises that retrain the brain-body connection to move in optimal ways to decrease pain and improve movement patterns throughout life.
