What is Muscle Therapy?
We use a range of advanced muscle release techniques to get you the best possible results. It's not simply massage, but various proven techniques which work to reduce tension and improve flexibility.
​
These may include trigger point therapy, where pressure is applied to hyperirritable areas, which may feel like 'knots'. The neuromuscular response allows recovery and normal functioning of this area.
​
Instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation or Graston Technique aims to reduce fascial adhesions. Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue which envelopes every organ, muscle and nerve and allows free flowing movement. Fascial restrictions can occur due to scar tissue, injury, inactivity and inflammation and will lead to pain, stiffness and reduced performance, which is why we use tools to reverse this and bring your body back to optimal health.
​
Muscle energy technique is an Osteopathic stretching technique which involves activating a muscle against resistance followed by a controlled stretch. It engages the sensory units in the muscles and tendons to allow further range of movement in both muscles and joints which helps to improve circulation, lymphatic flow and reduce pain.
