This is a broad category and makes up the majority of the work I do on a daily basis. This consists of multiple types of manual therapy Including Active Release Technique, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilizations (IASTM), Cupping. A combination of all of these will be used during each session. Why have a “tool box” if you only plan to use one tool?.
Fascia is fibrous connective tissue that performs various functions and is comprised of many parts. Our fascia require different movements in order to stay supple. Static stretching targets some of our fascia, but not all. During a fascial stretch, we stretch our fascia in all directions, straightening out our web of connective tissue to create balance in the body.
Dynamic Contraction Technique™ is a form of resistance stretching that is similar to but applicably different than PNF (Proprioceptive Nueromuscular Faciliation). More simply put DCT™ uses a sustained muscle contraction throughout a joint’s full range of motion to break up scar tissue (adhesions) and restore active contraction and strength to the target muscles. DCT™ is one of the premier methods used by professional athletes and trainers/therapists all over the world.
Kinesiology tape is a thin, flexible tape that was developed to aid muscle movement and enhance athletic performance. It is often used to relieve pain, reduce swelling and inflammation and provide support to joints and muscles. The elasticity, or stretchiness, of kinesiology tape is intended to help improve muscle contraction And physiologically mimic the skin.
