Each of these approaches can be used as a primary method of treatment to directly to address some conditions or as a complement and support to medical treatment you may be receiving from other providers.

We predominately feature myofascial release, a unique hands-on approach for treating muscle pain, similar to deep tissue massage. This therapy mobilizes soft tissue, frees up restricted motion and relieves pain by increasing motion.

Myofascial release has been proven to not only decrease pain, but also to increase Serotonin and Dopamine hormones (feel good hormones) and decrease Cortisol hormone (stress hormone), which can help ease the feelings of anxiety, depression and stress.

Other common conditions treated include:

  • Sprains/Strains
  • Carpal Tunnel
  • Tendonitis
  • Hand/Foot Numbness
  • Postural Changes
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Sciatica
  • Rotator Cuff
  • Low Back Pain
  • Epicondylitis
