Employed by both Osteopaths and Massage Therapists for muscular, fascial, tendon and ligament related issues or elements. These techniques also help to improve circulation and healing efficiency. Read on for more detail..
Massage
Gentler forms of massage benefit the more broad sweeping muscles and tissues of the body which help with injury prevention and healing response after injury.
Deep Friction
Deep friction is used to aid structures such as ligaments and tendons to heel properly after damage and requires an agitated prolonged period of pressure over the structure being treated.
Effleurage
Effleurage is a technique we use to aid drainage from areas of the body involving long strokes with light pressure on the skin. An example of use would be swelling in the legs due to injury or age related difficulties.
Acupressure & Trigger Points
Trigger point therapy uses focused pressure on specific areas of muscle tension to release tightness and improve movement.
Acupressure applies steady, gentle pressure to precise points on the body to stimulate circulation, ease tension, and support natural healing. Combined, these techniques help relieve pain and promote overall wellbeing.
