More than simple relief. A targeted manual therapy to resolve pain at its root, restore mobility and treat musculoskeletal dysfunctions.
Therapeutic massage (or massage therapy) is a health practice that goes far beyond relaxation. It is a set of specific manual maneuvers applied to soft tissues of the body—muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia—with the primary objective of treating a pathology or physical disorder.
Unlike generic wellness massages, the therapeutic approach always starts with a functional evaluation. We identify the origin of the pain, which often lies in a deep contraction, scar adhesion or postural imbalance, and intervene with targeted techniques to resolve it.
Stimulation of nerve fibers to inhibit pain transmission (Gate Control Theory) and release of natural endorphins.
Mechanical release of contracted muscle fibers (trigger points) and restoration of physiological elasticity.
Increased flow of oxygenated blood to suffering tissues and rapid removal of inflammatory toxins.
Restoration of joint range of motion (ROM) limited by muscle stiffness or fascial adhesions.
Available Monday to Saturday
You may experience "beneficial pain" when working on deep contractions, but it is always tolerable and followed by relief.
Generally a therapeutic cycle varies from 3 to 5 sessions to resolve the acute phase, followed by maintenance.
