graston techniqueAn instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization technique that effectively releases fascia and scar tissue restrictions, eliminates pain, and restores range of motion. Use this muscle scraping technique to help flush your legs or arms after a hard workout, prevent overuse tendonitis, restore fascial adhesions, or limit scar tissue build up after surgery.
|
|
therapeutic cuppingA tissue decompression or suction technique where the cup can be manipulated in different ways of static placement, external gliding, or active movement to facilitate tissue healing and connective tissue lubrication, restore range of motion, and decrease pain.
|
|
neurological dry needlingA thin filiform needle is placed into the skin and penetrated deeper to the target tissue to systemically target peripheral neurogenic sensitivity, reduce neurological burdens, optimize neurological capability, and improve neuro-immune function.
Neurological dry needling is used to help lubricate the connective fascial tissues, improve range of motion and neuromuscular control, and decrease pain. Placed along the neurological and fascial pathways, treatment is focused on a main area, rather than along the traditional Chinese medicine meridians. |
|
blood flow restrictionBy applying a tourniquet briefly and intermittently to an exercising limb you can induce significant and substantial strength, hypertrophy and endurance changes while using a very light load.
|
|
kinesiotapingAn elastic tape used to lift the skin, accelerate blood flow to increase oxygen available to muscles, which in turn reduces fatigue. Application after an acute injury helps to improve lymphatic drainage reducing edema, removing bruising, and improving tissue healing.
For best clinical outcomes tape is applied to alleviate pain, lubricate fascia, reduce swelling, release scar tissue restriction and improve functional movement patterns. Tape application lasts 1 - 4 days, depending on skin type, amount of perspiration, and water activity. |
|
muscle energy techniqueA manual therapy technique that uses the muscle's own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles. Comparative to passive stretching, MET is an active experience that lengthens the muscle through either autogenic or reciprocal inhibition to improve joint range of motion and promote pain relief.
|
|
corrective exerciseAn integrated approach of strength and rehabilitative exercises that improves mechanics and functional movement patterns, increases strength, and enhances performance for athletes and individuals looking to attain pain free range of motion.
|
|
forceplate testingAssess performance using countermovement jump, plyometric pushup, or isometric muscle testing to track strength progress and map rehabilitation with 200+ metrics such as vertical jump height, peak power, take off velocity, or limb asymmetry.
When it comes to recovery, charting your RSI-modified data on a daily basis will be the best metric to see physiological fatigue. Make smart and healthy decisions on your training schedule based on this metric. |
