fascial release techniques

Fascia is everywhere in the body, enveloping not just the muscles, tendons and ligaments, but everything, everywhere—bones, organs, blood vessels, nerves. Fascial work can help to release adhesions that may have developed throughout—from injury, trauma and long term postural or movement imbalances. The relief from this work can significantly help restore freedom of movement with decrease in acute and chronic pain.

trigger point therapy

Trigger points form in muscle and tendon tissue due to repetitive stress, weakness, postural imbalance—over and underuse. These knots or taut bands often radiate to other areas in the body, creating sometimes vague yet often intense pain. Releasing them with static pressure can greatly restore proper function and alleviate symptoms. 

deep tissue

From my vantage point, deep tissue can mean whatever the user wants it to. In general terms, I'd have to say that deep tissue work is the cornerstone of what I do—I use a combination of fascial release techniques and trigger point therapy to work with purpose and specificity.

sports massage

Sports massage is another relatively non-specific term, but you can think about it’s purpose as aiming to get blood flowing to tissues in preparation for movement, or to speed recovery immediately following intense effort. During these times immediately before and after performance, the goal is to get you loose and ready rather than to make big structural changes in which your body may require time to restore and adapt.
