Remedial Massage
Deep Tissue Massage
Loosen and dissolve knots and tensions. A more vigorous style of massage which warms and tones muscles, increasing blood flow and eliminating stiffness, tightness and post exertion lactic acid build-up. Trigger Point massage may be integrated into your treatment to deepen the releases.

Myofascial Release Therapy
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the gentle pressure applied slowly will allow fascia, connective tissue to elongate, bringing relaxation of the immediate and surrounding tissues. This in turn allows tissues to re-hydrate and the blood to circulate properly again aiding healing and detoxification.
Trauma, guarding of injury, inflammatory responses, scarring and surgical procedures can all create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.) This pressure is capable of distorting the skeletal system and joints over time.
A series of myofascial treatments can work wonders. The myofascial system connects the whole body and tightness and restriction in one area can effect seemingly un-related areas. Tight fascia tugs and impacts in a way similar to the way that pulling on a table cloth sends out folds of tension, but in our body this is three dimensional.
Whilst it is important to address fascial restrictions as early as possible, amazing results can occur long after the original problem began.

Trigger Point Therapy
A trigger point is a hyper-irritable tender spot in an abused muscle that "triggers" pain to other muscles. This is why the pain in your head may be coming from a neck muscle and the pain in your neck from a shoulder muscle and the pain in your low back from a hip muscle.
Pain killers can help mask the symptoms but within a trigger point there is usually spontaneous electrical activity causing the fibres to be permanently contracted. Consciously trying to relax the area, stretching, massaging and even taking muscle relaxant medication will often not be enough to make the knot let go.
If the trigger points are not treated, they can be the culprits in lingering pain even after an injury has healed, and the reason why the headache, neckache, and backache keep returning year after year. Some of the causes of trigger point activity in your muscles are stress, excessive chilling, injury, overuse, remaining in one position for too long and strain.
Active trigger points keep the muscles tight, restricting blood flow and compressing nerves perpetuating a vicious pain-spasm cycle in the muscles. The effect of decreased flexibility limits movement encouraging postural patterns which may sustain the cycle for years. Trigger Point Release Therapy is a valuable component of preventive as well as rehabilitative care.
