Our Approach
Goal
My goal as a practitioner is to help you improve your mobility, athletic performance, reduce pain, and relax. We achieve this by using one of two approaches (Relaxation and/or Therapeutic).
Relaxation
This approach is geared to helping you relax and rejuvenate. Techniques used are Swedish and Deep Tissue.
Therapeutic
This approach is focused on reducing any pain or discomfort, increasing your mobility, and improving your athletic performance. Primary techniques used are Advance Neuromuscular Therapy and Visceral Manipulation.
Advance Neuromuscular Therapy was created by Janet Travell MD and David Simons MD. This modality is ideal for chronic and abnormal discomfort, especially for lower back or referral pain. This therapy is effective because our focus is to address the neurologic response that is taking place within the pain cycle, rather than the symptom.
Visceral Manipulation was developed by a French Osteopathic Physician, Jean-Pierre Barral. VM's focus is to address the pain that can be caused by the viscera when altered from its stable state. This technique is very gentle, but has proven to be beneficial for deep rooted pain.
