Types of Massage
Investing in massage is an investment in your health.
Myofascial Release
MFR deals with the fascial, or connective tissue, of the body. The fascia is interconnected to every other part of the body, and actually helps to support the body's structure, including the musculoskeletal system. When injury, inflammation, physical, or emotional trauma occurs, the fascia can become tight and cause pain/or restricted range of motion. Myofascial release technique aims to relieve the fascia and return it to a state of normalcy by applying gentle sustained pressure to restricted areas to eliminate pain and restore motion. MFR can help with numerous conditions such as chronic pain, headaches, and stress-related illnesses.
Neuromuscular Therapy
NMT is a thorough program of recovery from acute and chronic pain syndromes which utilizes specific massage therapy, flexibility stretching, and home care to eliminate the causes of most neuromuscular pain patterns. This specific and scientific approach to muscular pain relief will help to bring about balance between musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. NMT enhances the function of joints, muscles, and biomechanics (movement), and it releases endorphins the body's own natural pain killers. Also it can be part of a comprehensive program, complementing all other health care modalities.
