Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular therapy (NMT) is a system of massage techniques that were developed in the 1930's by Dr. Stanley Lief in England. It uses a holistic approach towards healing, emphasizing and stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. NMT significant method for assessing, treating and preventing soft tissue injuries and chronic pain. Through a series of manual treatment protocols, anatomy knowledge and precise palpation, various musculoskeletal imbalances are corrected and brought back to balance NMT also enhances the function of joints and muscles, and accelerates the overall healing process by facilitating the release of endorphins.
Clinical Sports Massage
Clinical Sports Massage is the application of massage therapy to athletes and others engaged in intense physical activity for performance enhancement and health maintenance. It is commonly used for conditioning, recovery, remediation of problem conditions, and rehabilitation. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
Sports Massage Stretch is also known as Muscle Energy Technique (METs). This is a manual therapy process that involves client and therapist interactions. It is composed of coordinated series of muscle contractions in precisely controlled directions, at very low levels of intensity. METs are great for warming up tissues, lengthen tight, spastic, or shortened muscles, and strengthen weakened muscles or muscle groups.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the most popular type of massage for general relaxation. It involves the use of hands, forearms or elbows to manipulate the superficial layers of the muscles to improve mental and physical health. Active or passive movement of the joints may also be part of the massage.
Massage Cupping (add on therapy)
Massage Cupping TM works simply by placing a cup on the skin then creating a suction effect hence lifting the skin creating negative pressure or vacuum effect. This suction lifts the skin, fascia, connective tissue, muscle and all fluid within the tissue. When the cup is or "parked" on the skin, this allows the cup to focus on a specific neuromuscular trigger point. It releases the muscle in a fraction of the time. Either used parked on the body or gliding over soft tissue to enhance blood flow to the area. It expedites the release of tight muscle tissue. This allows the therapist to perform deeper manual work. All this while less discomfort to the client as compared to deep work alone. I invite you to check out www.MassageCupping.com for more information.
