* Due to the nature of my skill set, training, and treatment focus, I generally don’t do full body work. My focus is Holistic Abdominal Therapy. Longer sessions may be able to include more regions.
Holistic Abdominal Therapy - Holistic Abdominal Therapy is non-invasive and works externally on the abdominal region. It’s a systematic approach to loosening adhered structures in the abdominal region. Sessions do include loosening of other structures such as the upper legs, sacrum, and back. The protocol works to relieve congestion and adhesions in the abdominal region in the tissues surrounding the organs, fascia, muscles, and ligamentous structures. This protocol also works to improve the circulatory and lymphatic system while also calming the nervous system.
Clinical Massage - Clinical massage is a broad term and can consist of many techniques - trigger point therapy, manual lymph drainage and so on. The work is always specific to symptoms and works specific muscles and tissues in a systematic way to get to the root of an issue to relieve symptoms and discomfort.
Trigger Point Therapy - The treatment of myofascial pain by resolving trigger points formed in skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Trigger points can easily be identified as they can be sensitive, tender or painful areas within tissue, often perceived as a “knot.” They are formed by muscle fibers contracting and shortening on a microscopic level. When pressed, a trigger point refers sensation to another area, not necessarily close to where the trigger point exists. Trigger points form for a myriad of reasons, including: stress, trauma, compensation, dehydration, nutrition, etc. The prolonged shortening of the muscles causes the tissued to be compromised lacking sufficient nutrients and oxygen. This technique offers resolution of pain and sometimes can be the solution for longterm aches and pains that haven’t been able to be explained via other avenues such as physical therapy or chiropractic.
Neuromuscular Therapy - An advanced and thorough set of protocols used to examine the body’s soft tissues regionally in a systematic way. This technique is rooted in science and clinical evidence. As said by the NMT School in Florida, “NMT can integrate well into any practice setting and is frequently included in mainstream medicine, integrative medicine, chiropractic care, and multidisciplinary clinics worldwide.”
Myofascial - Fascia is everywhere in the body - it is a spiderweb-like network within the body that coats muscles, tendons, vasculature, bone that provides protection and lubrication for structures to move past one another. When someone says “everything’s connected,” it means “everything’s connected by way of fascia.” It’s why a pain in the big toe could be related to fascial restriction on the cranium. Myofascial work is more superficial than muscle and other tissue work. Sensations that accompany myofascial restriction are tearing, ripping, and burning - much like the snake bite arm twist your older sibling may have tortured you with during childhood.
