these modalities may be used in conjunction with your MFR treatment
trigger point therapy
Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) is a form of massage therapy focused on identifying and releasing trigger points—tight areas within muscle tissue that can cause pain in other parts of the body (referred pain). I use pressure, stretching, and other techniques to alleviate these issues, improve circulation, and restore normal muscle function.
craniosacral therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive bodywork technique aimed at improving the function of the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. I use light touch to assess and release tension in this system, promoting relaxation and facilitating the body's natural ability to heal.
Kinesiology taping
Kinesiology Taping (KT) is a therapeutic technique that involves applying elastic adhesive tape to the skin to support muscles, joints, and ligaments without restricting movement. It helps improve circulation, reduce pain, and enhance recovery by lifting the skin slightly, which facilitates better blood flow and lymphatic drainage.
