Counterstrain is a manual therapy technique that utilizes diagnostic tender points to identify reflexively protected and contracted tissues. Counterstrain practitioners remove these painful tissue contractions from the body by gently slackening or decompressing the involved structures with their hands.
This technique has been helpful in treating a wide variety of conditions that have been debilitating for so many individuals. Please feel free contact me to see if this is the right treatment for you or you can go to counterstrain.com for more information.
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
