Myofascial release therapy is a hands-on technique that treats pain and discomfort by releasing tightness in the body's fascia. Fascia is the tough tissue that covers and supports muscles, bones, and organs.
WHAT IT TREATS: Myofascial release therapy treats pain that originates from myofascial tissues, which can be caused by physical trauma or inflammation.
WHAT IT CAN HELP WITH: Myofascial release therapy can help with pain in any part of the body, including headaches and back pain. It can also help restore full range of motion.
visceral MANIPULATION
Visceral manipulation (VM) is a gentle manual therapy that uses soft forces to help the body's internal organs (viscera) move smoothly and normally.
WHAT IT TREATS: Because VM directly stimulates the vagus, phrenic, and splenic nerves, it can have a big effect on the nervous system.
VM takes a holistic approach, recognizing that dysfunction in one organ can impact the entire body. Some things that can cause visceral restrictions include: Physical trauma, Diet, Lifestyle, Infections, and Mental and emotional stressors.
WHAT IT CAN HELP WITH: abdominal pain, constipation, cramps, indigestion, chronic pain, and organ dysfunction.
