Registered Massage Therapy
The practice of Massage Therapy is the assessment of the soft tissues and joints of the body and the treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissues and joints, by manipulation to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function, or relive pain.
Acupuncture Therapy
Acupuncture is one component of Traditional Chinese Medicine which aims to balance energy in the body in order to keep it functional and healthy. This therapeutic method is used to:
- Encourage natural healing
- Reduce or relieve pain
- Improve function of affected areas of the body
Acupuncture stimulates the body to produce its own pain relieving chemicals called endorphins. The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities.
Acupuncture is very effective in treating a variety of painful disorders, both acute and chronic. It is very effective when used in conjunction with massage therapy.
Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is a scientific refinement for the treatment of pain conditions, as well as performance and sports injuries. Research is ongoing to demonstrate that acupuncture has the following effects:
- Promotes healing of the joints, nerves, muscles, and other soft tissues
- Decreases pain and inflammation
- Increases circulation and promotes tissue healing
- Increases range of motion
- Increases strength
Cupping Massage
Cupping Massage brings the ancient art of cupping to the modern day practice. This modality allows for a unique approach to the fascia and body fluids. Cupping has an ability to affect deeper tissue, remove fascial restrictions, and increase range of motion. Cupping goes far beyond simple fascial techniques and treatment, such as angiogenesis, metabolism and immune response.
Dynamic Tape
Dynamic Tape allows the wearer to move through full range of motion without limitation but with strong biomechanical assistance (as opposed to a primary neurophysiological approach). Dynamic Tape can strongly assist or resist movement, facilitate or inhibit and offload tissue through full range of motion. This is only possible due to the highly elastic nature (no endpoint like kinesiotapes) and four way stretch necessary when taping multi joint muscles or movements and performing complex, three-dimensional skills.
Dynamic Tape is extremely soft to touch and is highly conformable. It has a strong adhesive which has been independently tested and rated as non-sensitizing, non-irritating and non-toxic. The fabric is highly breathable, allowing water in to wash the skin but dries quickly. The result is a well tolerated, long lasting tape that is quite possibly the most comfortable athletic tape on the market.
- How does the tape work?
Once full range is reached, the absorbed energy is stored in the form of elastic potential energy. As the muscle or joint begins to shorten, the energy is released back into the biomechanical chain as kinetic energy, thereby assisting the concentric action of the muscle. This results in decreased workload and improved biomechanical efficiency of the musculo-tendinous unit, decreased metabolic demand and improved tolerance to fatigue.
Reducing load may result in less pain, better healing (can load sooner resulting in functional stress and better scar formation), improved endurance and performance. Dramatic improvements in circulation and lymphatics have also been observed. There are a number of mechanical and physiological mechanisms that are likely to contribute.
