Myofascial Release Therapy
I practice the John Barnes Myofascial Release which concentrates on treating the three-dimensional fascia that envelopes all the organs, blood vessels, nerves, bones, muscles, and tendons in the body. When the fascia is strained from trauma, injury, infection, inflammation, disease, or structural imbalances from osseous restrictions, leg length discrepancies, and pelvic rotation one is likely to experience pain and limited range of motion. The Myofascial Release approach treats the cause of the pain. Clients experience an increase in range of motion and a decrease or elimination of pain.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are small spots of tightly contracted muscles that are sensitive and may incur pain in other parts of the body. Trigger point therapy involves locating the trigger points causing pain and then using direct pressure to deactivate them. Some trigger points may take multiple treatments to completely release. Trigger points play a role in a number of common painful conditions such as low back pain, crick neck, shoulder pain, sciatica, rotator cuff pain, knee pain, and other conditions.
