How massotherapy helps reduce your pain. There are many reasons why you experience an increase in pain after its initial onset. These factors include muscle tightening, muscle spasms, impaired circulation, increased stress, fear of movement and trigger points.

Fortunately, massotherapy can provide relief by addressing each of these factors. By manipulating the soft tissue, we can increase circulation, relax the muscle and improve mobility – all of which help eliminate your pain.

Using state-of-the-art techniques. The most common treatments we use are myofascial release and neuromuscular therapy.

Myofascial release is a whole-body, hands-on approach to the evaluation and treatment of the human structure. Focusing on the body's fascial system, these techniques help remove restrictions in the fascia that cause limited mobility, postural distortion and pain. Myofascial release involves slow, horizontal stretching of muscle tissue with a light sustained pressure, allowing the tissues to be elongated and to become more pliable. It is used in a wide range of diagnoses, including muscle pain and spasms, movement restriction, neurological dysfunction, headaches, sports injuries, fibromyalgia, and traumatic and surgical scarring.

Neuromuscular therapy is also known as trigger point work. Often present with muscular pain, trigger points can cause a muscle to become stiff and weak and may restrict its range of motion. Neuromuscular therapy can deactivate the trigger points by using pressure, stripping the muscle and stretching the muscle. Stretching the muscle is extremely important in allowing the muscle to return to its full length.
