Deep Tissue Massage works progressively through the muscle layers to release tension and adhesions that are limiting motion, strength and function.  Done properly, deep tissue massage should not be uncomfortably painful.

VM  is based on the specific placement of soft manual forces to encourage the normal mobility, tone and motion of the viscera (internal organs) and their connective tissues. Dysfunction of these tissues presents not only in digestive issues but also as muscular and joint symptoms.  Many chronic pain symptoms originate from the viscera.

  NM techniques provide assessment and treatment approaches to address restrictions of the dural and neural components not commonly focused on with musculoskeletal symptoms. Neural Manipulation identifies and releases local nerve restrictions while at the same time examines the effect these local fixations have on the rest of the body, and accessing this relationship, resolves the more comprehensive (global) dysfunctional patterns.
