Soft Tissue Work

Myofascial Release: A from of manual therapy that decreases tension in the muscle. While using movement to help restore the communication between muscle joints and nerves.

Graston: A form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) that treats myofascial restrictions and dysfunction, overall making the tissue more pliable.

Cupping: Uses negative pressure drawing the tissue up. This increases blood flow to the tissue, drawing more nutrients and oxygen to the area in addition to draining and getting rid of toxins enhancing and decreasing recovery time. This also decreases tension in the muscle making it more pliable.

Kinesiology Tape: is a thin flexible tape that aids in muscle movement by using the recoil of the tape to stimulate the skin and muscle receptors to give feedback back to the brain improving stability and sensory information. This in turn helps relieve pain and reduce inflammation and swelling.
