TREATMENT FAQs
What can you expect in a treatment session:
1) At each session, clients receive a musculoskeletal evaluation to determine areas of needed attention.
2) Treatments consist of focused soft-tissue manual therapy, using myofascial release, trigger point and deep tissue techniques.
3) During treatments, clients breathe with the diaphragm, and provide pressure-level feedback (ex: hold or lighten)
4) Clients are provided with self-care education, to maintain benefits of treatment.
5) The majority of clients receive resolution of the initial complaint within one to three visits
Will treatment hurt?
Clients are in charge of the level of pressure and speed of treatment. There is reciprocal communication throughout the session.
No session is "No Pain/No Gain" so you do not need to grit your teeth and hold your breath. (There will be no progress toward your goals, if you do)
Change can only happen when the client is breathing, and the shortest shortcut to pain relief is breathing with the diaphragm. This kind of breathing "melts" muscle tension.
