Techniques Used

Joint Mobilization

 The joint is put through its ranges of motion, gradually increasing its mobility to free any restrictions. It helps decrease the pain in the area through therapeutic holds that release endorphins to relax the body and are known as natural pain killers.

Soft Tissue Therapy

The manipulation of soft tissues surrounding joints (muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, etc) to promote relaxation, help in the healing and recovery process, and increase function.
​

Muscle Energy Technique

Is a voluntary contraction of the patients muscle against a controlled counterforce. Then a relaxation period, followed by the stretching of the muscle(s) contracted. Used to improve muscle function, motion, and flexibility while decreasing pain.

Visceral Manipulation

Organs need to have motion for optimal function and health, otherwise they can create tension and pain. Visceral manipulation is applied to our organs by gentle and specifically placed manual forces to encourage normal areas where physiologic motion is impaired, usually applied in the abdomen area.

Cranial Osteopathy

This technique works with the ‘flow’ of the fluid surrounding the brain and down the spinal cord by releasing tension using the cranium and sacrum as levers. It is a very gentle technique used to relax the body by various holds on skull bones, along the spine, and the pelvic area.
