Massage therapy is an increasingly popular form of treatment for individuals struggling with chronic pain. Massage therapists can help to release the tension in the muscles, promote circulation, and remove adhesions from the muscle fibers. This can help in a lot of ways, not only by making your muscles more flexible, but also by helping to stop muscles over-contracting, causing imbalances and referred pain. Massage therapy helps break up scar tissue and improve circulation, allowing injuries to heal more efficiently and effectively. Proper therapeutic massage technique is a combination of specific pressure points and deep tissue massage. Scar tissue, adhesions and muscular spasms are all treated with various forms of deep tissue massage. Your certified massage therapist will use a blend of modalities based on your specific needs.

Active Release Technique (ART) is designed to specifically target muscles and connective tissues. When the fascia, tendons and ligaments become injured, scar tissue can form, just as it does in muscles. This is accompanied by pain, inflammation and even nerve damage. ART works by breaking up the scar tissue and restoring mobility. With each session your flexibility will increase & pain and swelling are decreased. Your ART practitioner will determine the most effective treatment protocol based on the symptoms you present.

It helps people to recover more quickly between workouts, and offers dynamic compression massages that will help you to feel ready to train again more quickly even after an intense session. The system is ideal for people who want to enjoy the benefits of massage without having to take extended time out of their day to see a massage therapist for a treatment. The system uses high pressure to ‘flush’ the limb, removing lactic acid and leaving you feeling fresh and strong.
