NeuroMuscular Reprogramming
NeuroMuscular Reprogramming (NMR), is a kinesthetic conversation with the motor control center of the brain that facilitates new learning, in effect, reprogramming damaged or inefficient muscle use patterns. Simply stated, NMR teaches the body to work properly by showing it how! When the body endures trauma, there is damage to both the soft tissues and the neuromuscular programs that govern alignment, movement, and postural support.
Sports Massage
Sports Massage is typically used before, during, and after athletic events. The purpose of the massage is to prepare the body for peak performance, reduce fatigue, relieve swelling, reduce muscle tension, promote flexibility, and prevent future injuries. Sports Massage reduces muscle fatigue and recovery time, increases range of motion, and enhances muscle endurance.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is commonly known as the “traditional” or spa massage. This style of massage includes long gliding strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, and shaking motions. The main purpose of Swedish Massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release stored tension. It stretches the ligaments and tendons which keeps them supple and pliable. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deeper pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibers of the muscles, tendons, and fascia. This can help break up and eliminate scar tissue. A good deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues and allows blood and oxygen to circulate properly.
Stretch Therapy
Stretch Therapy is the scientific application of specific techniques to treat certain physical problems associated with tight muscles and restricted joints. When performed properly, Stretch Therapy can help prevent injuries, increase the range of motion, reduce pain and stiffness, and improve performance.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release Therapy is an extremely effective hands-on technique that applies gentle, sustained pressure to eliminate pain and restore flexibility and motion to the fascia. This densely woven sheath of connective tissue interpenetrates and “houses” every muscle, bone, vein, nerve, and internal organ, including the spinal cord.
