TISSUE RELEASE THERAPY FAQ’S
-
Tissue release, also known as deep tissue massage, can be compared to a style of treatment called “Active Release”. This involves targeted techniques to address deep layers of muscle and connective tissue. It focuses on releasing chronic tension and promoting overall muscle health by combining massage techniques with client assisted movement.
You are an active participant in the treatment and your practitioner will be sure to communicate each portion of the treatment with you.
-
Due to the intensity of this form of treatment, pain is often present. However, our skilled kinesiologists ensure that the pressure applied is within your comfort level.
Communication and breathing during the session is key, allowing adjustments to be made for an optimal experience.
-
Designed with athletes and active individuals in mind, Tissue Release Therapy is an essential treatment for those pushing their physical limits. Repetitive stress and injuries can lead to scar tissue, restricting movement and impacting performance.
Our therapy not only improves mobility and flexibility but also helps in maintaining peak physical condition.
Whether you’re a competitive athlete or simply enjoy an active lifestyle, integrating Tissue Release into your regimen can significantly prevent injury and boost your physical prowess.

CUPPING THERAPY FAQ’S
-
Cupping Therapy is a traditional form of Chinese alternative medicine that uses suction cups on the skin to enhance circulation and relieve pain. This technique boosts healing by drawing blood to the surface, promoting new blood flow, lymphatic drainage and muscle relaxation.
Using cups made from materials like glass or silicone, the therapy targets various body areas to improve well-being. It’s especially effective for relaxing tense muscles and alleviating stiffness, making it a holistic approach to achieving a balanced state of physical health.
-
Cupping may leave temporary marks due to increased blood circulation. These marks are not bruises and typically fade within a few days to a week.
-
Cupping Therapy benefits a wide array of individuals, from athletes looking to accelerate recovery and improve performance to anyone suffering from chronic pain conditions such as back pain, arthritis, or fibromyalgia. It’s also found to be helpful for those experiencing stress, anxiety, and migraines.
By enhancing circulation and promoting relaxation, cupping offers a non-invasive route to wellness for people leading active lifestyles or seeking relief from chronic ailments, aiming to improve their overall physical and mental health seamlessly.
-
Absolutely! Cupping can complement other therapies. Discuss your preferences with our therapists to create a customized treatment plan.
