Bodywork
We believe that Hyperbaric Therapy is the quickest and most effective way to reduce inflammation, restore proper blood flow and promote quicker healing and recovery. Along with Hyperbaric Therapy the right approach to bodywork can really help expedite the bodies healing processes. Lack of oxygen is a typical issue in most injuries, illnesses and body disfunction. We help clients assess, recognize and remedy issues with posture and physical positioning that can restrict the diaphragm’s ability to expand and compress which then restricts oxygen intake. We take on average between 16,000 and 22,000 breaths a day!! If you are missing even 5% of the diaphragms full capabilities, just imagine how much oxygen you are missing out on!!,
Typically massage would be rated for effectiveness on these levels……..
Level one - basic massage, swedish, reiki, etc
Level two - deep tissue massage, pressure point
Level three - deep tissue massage, pressure point, trigger point, and passive movement (therapist moves the client)
Level four - deep tissue, pressure point, trigger point, and active movement (client moves under their own power)
Level five - Neuromuscular massage, fascial release, myofascial release, deep tissue, trigger point etc with active and passive
Specialty Bodywork / Neuromuscular / Myoneural Massage
Our Specialty Bodywork, looked at from a broad aspect as Neuromuscular Massage, has been put into practice for over 15 years on athletes of all levels, from high school through professional levels of play, and the general population ages 5-78. Our sessions incorporate site specific fascial release protocols such as our neck capsule release that works through 3 layers of fascial release on and around the neck, as well as Graston Technique treatments, deep tissue therapy and muscle stripping. We focus on pain relief, restoring range of motion and returning the body to the correct postural and functional position improving everyday movement mechanics. Combined with corrective stretches and simple exercises that reinforce the corrections made through bodywork we can work on restoring optimal movement and health. Our top priority is finding resolution to movement, mechanical and pain driven body issues!

"THE END OF AN ICE AGE" - over the past 15 years we have advocated to athletes that ICE and rest is not the way to go with ankle sprains and other minor injuries. As the clash between east and west medicine heats up, we continue to gain support in our pursuit of better training and repair modalities. Unfortunately western medicine has continued to support the brace it, cut it, bandage it, and medicate it theories as opposed to actually addressing the true concern or root of the problem.
Working with a lot of collegiate, professional and aspiring volleyball players we have dealt with a lot of ankle issues. The ankle is a mobility joint by nature, therefore it should be mobile. When players turn ankles, unless something has been broken or actually torn, they need to get back on that ankle. Initial ice and rest only slows healing and recovery down. Our winter crest protocol along with compression and mobility work pursuing the quick restoration of the full range of motion has gotten players back in weeks after nasty ankle sprains, not months.
