Dry cupping therapy
Releases muscular, tendinous and ligamentous tension, relieving aches , pain and prevents injury. Releases stagnant blood making way for fresh nutrient filled oxygenated blood aiding in the recovery process. Improves range of movement, Can reduce symptoms of asthma, headaches, fibromyalgia and plantar fasciitis.
Sports massage/deep tissue
eases muscular tension, promotes improved blood flow encouraging the rehabilitation of soft tissue disfunction. Eases aches and pain and improves flexibility ,range of movement. reduces stress and anxiety and promotes a overall feel good factor with the accompanied release of endorphins. speeds up the recovery process and prevents Injury due to overworked muscles.
Dry needling therapy
Targets trigger points, muscle tightness and pain, produces a twitch reflex in the area of tension leading to an inflammatory response which eases muscular tension, and speeds up the healing process through the intake of oxygenated blood to the inserted area of disfunction.
Kinesiology taping
For support, stabilisation, pain relief and rehabilitation of soft tissue. The application technique creates a recoiling lifting effect, increasing blood and lympth flow as well as reducing inflammation and swelling. Range of movement around joints is also improved. The lifting effect decompresses pain receptors leading to a reduction of pain. application can be performed using different methods. K-tape can be used for Offloading the muscle, pain reduction, swelling reduction, postural correction, joint, tendon and ligament support and stabilisation.
.
Voodoo floss
Voodoo flossing is a technique used to improve joint/muscular mobility and reduce pain by applying compression to restricted areas. By wrapping a specialized elastic bandage around the affected area and combining it with active and passive movements, voodoo flossing can help:
- Increase range of motion
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Reduce swelling
- Encourage lymph flow
- Improve joint mobility
- Enhance muscle function
- Enhance recovery due to improved circulation
voodoo floss can be incorporated into your treatment plan to improve your overall function and performance.
Muscle energy techniques
Muscle energy technique (MET) is a manual therapy technique that involves the client actively contracting a particular muscle against a resistance held by the therapist. The therapist shall stretch a muscle to a point of bind and in that position shall ask the client to actively contract against the stretch and hold the contraction for a period of time. The therapist shall repeat the technique and with every repetition achieving a greater range of movement of the muscle in question. MET is used to treat muscular dysfunction, improve range of motion, and reduce tension and pain .
Soft tissue release
Soft tissue release (STR) is a manual therapy technique that uses pressure and stretching (pin and stretch) to treat muscle, ligament, and tendon issues. It can help with pain, restricted movement, and injuries. The therapist shall manually place the muscle in a contracted shortened position. The therapist then shall add pressure (pin) to a particular location of the muscle and then manually place the muscle in a lengthened stretched position with the pin being maintained.
Rockpods glide
Silicone cups designed to smoothly travel across skin with a vacuum still maintained .
BENEFITS:
*Helps improve mobility and movement disfunctions.
*Improves muscular and joint movement with the release of trigger points and tension build up.
*Pain relief.
*Reduces inflammation due to improved circulation.
*Promotes relaxation aiding in the sedation of the nervous system.
*Can be used for injury recovery, general pain, and overall wellness and health.
Rockpod Vibe
A unique variation of dry cupping therapy. Unlike regular dry cupping therapy which performs a vacuume mechanism, or rockpod glide which performs a vacuum and movement across the body, vibe brings a combination of a vacuum plus a vibration mechanism. The silicone cups can placed on a still client but also used in combination with active and passive movements creating enhanced mobility and reduced muscular tension.
Benefits of rockpod vibe include:
- Interfere with the transmission of pain signals to the brain, providing relief from chronic pain
- Improve circulation and reduce inflammation, aiding in enhanced recovery
- Promote relaxation and reduce pain through relaxation of tight muscles
- Improve range of movement, flexibility, and physical function
- Help prevent injury
ROCKPODS
RockPods are a soft tissue tool that combines vacuum technology with manual manipulation. The device features silicone cups with a handle on top, allowing manual manipulation of soft tissue, combined with vacuum pressure.
The benefits of RockPods include:
- Enhancing the recovery process by removing stagnant blood and promoting fresh blood flow
- Improving mobility and flexibility of muscles through the vacuum action of the silicone cups
- Allowing for a unique "double stretch" effect, where the vacuum stretches the tissue while the handle enables manual manipulation, providing an additional stretch.
This combination of vacuum and manual therapy can help improve tissue health, reduce pain and stiffness, and promote overall muscle function.
