Recovery…. Performance… Services… You may be wondering why I use these words to describe the type of work that I do. What is the difference in technique, application or timing from say a Swedish or Deep Tissue Massage?
Recovery…
When it comes to bodywork especially when the goals are facilitating the body’s ability to recover between strenuous activities or competitions, research has found recovery to be of paramount importance. Application and techniques applied will all be in alignment with facilitating lymphatic and blood flow function and addressing any aches, pains or trauma from the activity or competition.
Performance…
When it comes to performance oriented work… certain techniques and time frames all apply to help achieve optimal results. Treatment sessions all aim to prepare the body’s soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia) as well as to helping to achieve prime joint range of motion and muscular power output.
Services…
In the past 15 years I have been exposed to some of the top performance and recovery products that can be applied to further improve results from a session. From facilitated stretching, hyperice technology, Normatecs, hyperberic chamber, cryotherapy, IV drip, infrared sauna, and red light therapy. These are all tools that can be used in conjunction with my sessions. I will also soon be bringing some of my favorite health care items to you through the products portion of the site.
I also believe in a high level team of referral services, in which if a client or I feel there is benefit to a different modality I have a powerful network in place to offer. From other top LMT’s nationwide to DC’s, MD’s, ATC’s, Naturopaths, Osteopaths, PT’s, and even one of the Worlds best Quantum Neurologists.
On a final note…
Outside of performance and recovery, there lies a timeframe in every athletes career or clients life where they just want bodywork that will assist them in maintaining their optimal health and wellness. This is at the core of my work in each and every session with each and every client. I hope to always promote the very best that your body can be in health and wellness to live out your best life.
