soft tissue therapy
Helps to maintain a healthy condition of the body's soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia (=connective tissue) as well as aid the rehabilitation from injury and enhance flexibility. It combines deep tissue massage strokes together with more targeted methods that operate on a neuromuscular level, enhancing the strength and length of muscle fibres. At the same time the fascia is addressed which is often involved in more chronic issues and imbalances. Medical acupuncture, also known as dry-needling deals with very tight muscles, trigger points and helps the body to heal itself.
