“Finally, the pain relief solution I’ve needed!”
When you receive hands on massage therapy from The Art of Fitness, you’re going to walk away feeling:
- Relief from pain
- Decrease in muscle tightness and spasm
- Increased joint mobility and range of motion
- Less fear about moving
- More open and connection to your body
- And much much more…
This is not a traditional full body massage. Full body massages are wonderful and highly beneficial. However, when it comes to treating pain or injury, they tend to only provide short term relief. We’re seeking long term permanent solutions.
Massage Therapy
The hands on massage therapy work I do always occurs within a context of an ongoing progressing movement assessment. This means that the work is targeted to address specific compensating muscles that are creating tightness, stiffness, pain, and movement dysfunction. It also shows me which muscles are weak, underworking, and need to be strengthened. Once a compensating muscle is found, I will perform a hands on massage release to temporarily inhibit the muscle and reduce tension. We will follow this massage release by activating the underworking muscles to bring balanced strength back into the system.
The manual muscle test and movement assessments allows the massage release to be incredibly pinpoint and targeted and flows directly into developing a Personal Training and Coaching program to eliminate pain and get you moving better. Read here for more information about the manual muscle tests.
It is through the comprehensive holistic approach of using a movement assessment to determine the specific causes of pain and movement dysfunction, combined with a targeted hands on massage therapy release, followed by a Personalized Exercise Program that will help us tailor exactly what your body needs to move pain free.
