A gentle, safe, hands-on approach to relieving tension, pain, and dysfunction throughout the body. This approach targets the fascial system which is a tough connective tissue that spreads throughout your body from head to toe (much like a three dimensional spider web). When this fascia is damaged through trauma or inflammation it binds down and can put pressure on muscles, nerves, organs, blood vessels and bones. Myofascial Release is one of the most effective forms of bodywork available today.

Water is a safe and effective medium for therapeutic exercise. The buoyancy of water allows for a gravity reduced environment. With less pressure from gravity pushing down on a body one can move in ways not possible on land. The viscosity of water can assist movement (and help improve flexibility) and resist movement (and help build strength). The compression forces from water help to decrease swelling and improve positional awareness. The warmth of water can improve blood flow and decrease muscle spasms allowing for relaxation and a decrease in pain.

There are many different traditional physical therapy techniques that may be performed to improve your range of motion, flexibility, strength, biomechanics, postural and gait deviations, and alignment. These techniques include: soft tissue mobilization, scar tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, muscle energy techniques, manual stretching, and manual strengthening.

A functional and dynamic therapeutic exercise program will be developed to address your needs. Your exercise program may consist of therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, therapeutic activities, and/or gait training. This program will be designed to address your body as a whole, your function within the environment(s) that you live, and your desired activities for life. You will take responsibility in your recovery through a home exercise program specifically tailored to you and your goals.
