How We Can Help You

As a therapy clinic we are not traditional, in that, we do not do what everyone else does. We actually use our hands! And our hearts. We are all trained in The John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release Approach. We use our hands to detect tension in the muscles and the surrounding fascia. Fascia is a protective thin barrier that surrounds all tissue in the body. It is supportive but at the same time can cause restrictions equivalent to a “straight jacket”  causing strain patterns, shortening of some muscles and overstretching others; creating pain and pressure on sensitive structure.
