Evidence-Based Methods

Is a deep, precision based restructuring of fascia which alleviates the body of discomfort

Visualize your fascial network as a multi-layered structure of systems like a layer cake

Myofascial pain is different from other types of pain because it occurs in places where your fascial systems meet

Fascial massage is a slow and penetrative technique, which realigns and relieves any irregularities among these systems

I use a medical-grade device called Rapid Release Pro 3, which is the most effective tool to release areas where fascial systems cross

Neuromuscular stimulation sends electronic pulses to stimulate your motor nerves

To create muscle contraction by stimulating slow and fast twitch muscle fibers, mimicking training and enhance strength and improve performance

This helps to clear away metabolic waste and further reduce soreness and restore performance of the muscle

By delivering oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood to kickstart the recovery process

The device I use, the Deep Muscle Stimulator, is the gold standard in professional sports recovery

Identifies and addresses trigger points, or "knots"

Those tense spots within muscle tissue in which there is a tightening of tissue causing an inability for that muscle to relax

The area is hypersensitive and can cause pain, fatigue, and weakness

Trigger points can also lead to referral discomfort, a phenomenon in which areas far away from the point experience sensations of tension, numbness and tingling

In sports, trigger point work can help in areas with more muscle density and significant muscular tightness

I use a tool called AchedAway Thermal Scrapers, which assists in heating and breaking up knots

Shortening muscles that are locked long and lengthening tissues that have been contracted over a period of time

Is scientifically called "proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation," a form of assisted stretching that's actually a combination of two different types of stretches: passive and isometric

When you place a muscle group into a stretched position and hold it there for a few seconds, you’re performing a passive stretch (i.e. lying on your back and lifting your foot toward the ceiling)

When you contract a muscle group without physically moving that muscle group, you’re doing an isometric stretch (i.e. placing your forearms against the sides of a doorway and lunging forward for pec stretch)

With NeuroMuscular Stretching, we'll stretch a muscle group to its limit, and then push that same muscle group against something solid, typically against my hand

This technique signals the nervous system to tell the muscle to relax itself, in order to prevent future tears and strains

Resulting in "superior functional range of motion over standard static stretches"
