Functional Movement Therapy

Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

The tools may be hard, but the techniques are soft!

IASTM tools deliver superior soft-tissue manipulation. They are used gently and
allow for comprehensive tissue-manipulation in zones.

We use RockRub, a 100% natural made with Canola Oil, Beeswax, and Vitamin E to create a gliding effect.

Kinesio Tape

Kinesio Tape promotes healing by providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion.

Through functional kinesiology taping methods, clients begin to notice improvements in movement patterns and performance. Techniques with kinesiology tape lead to enhancements of the rehabilitation process and improve performance outcomes.

Kinesiology taping for scar mobility and the symptoms associated with nerve entrapment are also included.

FMT Kinesiology Taping is an evidence-informed program utilizing the efficacy of elastic therapeutic taping as a rehabilitation and performance intervention for patient and client conditions ranging from pain mitigation to improving fluid dynamics and sharpening proprioception.

Flossing with RockFloss Bands

Supercharge stretching with RockFloss, a mobility tool that can help our clients move better and with less discomfort.

RockFloss is a reusable, latex, elastic band that uses the science of compression and fascial shearing to help “unstick” muscles and joints so that they move better, and complements stretches, range-of-motion exercises and rehabilitation work.

This is a value-add to the standard Orthopedic / Sports Massage & Manual Therapy Service and is used when and where it is appropriate to help resolve the unique healing needs and requirements of each client.

We also offer RockFloss for sale in 2” and 4” widths, at a discount for existing clients.

Myofascial Cupping

Myofascial Cupping has been around since the early 19th century – only recently has the image of purple circles on professional athlete’s backs created attention to an ancient myofascial therapy.

The cups and techniques have changed over time, but the basic premise of the cups providing suction to decompress the underlying tissue remains the same.

The goal of this specific type of therapy is to decompress areas of tension while increasing tissue gliding properties, reducing pain, promoting the healing and recovery process while delivering superior patient and client outcomes.
