Deep Tissue
One of my most requested massage technique’s, deep tissue treatments are mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, including muscular hypertonicity, chronic pain due to previous injuries, and referral pains caused by strained musculoskeletal tissue. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This can help to mobilize scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue. It may also promote faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
Joint Mobilization
One of my favourite modalities- joint mobilization is a manual therapy technique aimed at improving joint range of motion, which can aid in reducing pain. Pressure or force is applied on a joint in specific directions to help improve the mobility of that joint via relaxing the tendons that surround it and stimulating the production of synovial fluid. It can be performed at different levels of intensity and is guided by feedback from you- my client. It should be pain-free! Joint mobilization can improve range of motion, reduce pain, and improve the mechanics of a joint to help with things such as lifting your arm, bending your spine, or walking.
MyoFascial Release
Myofascial (my-o-FASH-e-ul) release is a manual therapy technique that effects the myofascia and surrounding fascial structures. If you are seeing me to help improver pain and immobility, chances are high that I will be incorporating myofascial release into your treatment plan. The technique focuses on pain or decreased mobility that arise from myofascial tissues (the tough membranes that wrap, connect and support your muscles). These areas are thought to restrict muscle and joint movements, which can be a major contributor to widespread muscle pain. Focused manual pressure and stretching used in myofascial release can help loosen up restricted movement, leading to reduced pain.
Trigger Point Pain Release
Trigger points (TrPs) or muscle knots are sore spots in soft tissue that cause deep aching. A lot of the time, TrPs can send referring pain from one area of the body to another, which I see often in the case of things like tension headaches and “pinched nerves”. There are many possible causes of unexplained aches and pains in the body, and TrPs can often be a major contributor or even be the culprit. Utilizing TrPs release techniques can offer some potential for relief. Trigger point release involves pressing on areas in hypertonic muscular tissue (the “knots”), which will usually reproduce and sometimes even increase the pain a client is presenting with. With sustained pressure, the TrPs will often begin to release the pain and even allow for improved muscular function.
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a myoFascial intervention used for soft-tissue treatment. It is based on the principles of James Cyriax cross-friction massage. It is applied using instruments that are usually made of stainless steel with bevelLed edges and contours that can conform to different body anatomical locations. I would only suggest the use of IASTM tools if a clients is wanting me to work with scar tissue formation, both new and old, or extremely hypertonic myofascia.
