Manual Therapy Services

Theraputic Bodywork

     Is a system of manual therapy that aims to improve human biomechanical functioning as a whole for the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.

     Manual force is applied to the soft tissues in a manner that is generally more gradual and prolonged, yet with more pressure than is typical of massage. Improves posture and motor coordination, increases overall relaxation, independence of movement between adjacent soft tissue structures, increases the rate of blood circulation and interstitial fluid flow, which is potentially significant because movement through the soft tissues accounts for a large portion of fluid transfer in the body, as well as increases the stimulation of sensory nerves and enhances somatosensory perception.

Relaxing Massage

     It is the most recognized and frequent used massage therapy . It is characterized by long strokes applied according to the venous and lymphatic flow.

 

     It is a painless, gentle and non-forceful technique that is not associated with any serious adverse effects. Has been shown to decrease sympathetic activity and increase parasympathetic activity.

 

     This therapy is able to decrease anxiety and stress. In addition, is able to reduce blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in hypertensive individuals. It also increases skin blood flow and suppleness and induces tissue relaxation. The long strokes in massage compress the body tissues and when released, increases blood flow to the local area.

Cupping

     Is a therapeutic technique that utilizes a vacuum force created beneath a small vessel(cup) applied onto the skin's surface. This approach focuses on blood, stimulating metabolic activity, improving immune function, and stabilizing blood biochemistry.

     Cupping therapy can target numerous anatomical sites, and the choice of these sites depends on the specific ailment or condition under treatment. Cupping is frequently administered to regions with abundant muscle tissue, such as the back, chest, abdomen, and buttocks.

     To minimize potential risks and increase the chances of favorable outcomes in cupping therapy, it is advisable to avoid anatomical sites with significant dense hair, limited tissue mass, and insufficient surface area for effective cup placement.
