Fascial Manipulation 

Fascia is a band or sheet of connective tissue, primarily collagen, beneath the skin that attaches, stabilizes, encloses, and separates muscles and other internal organs.Fascial Manipulation (FM) is an evidence-based manual therapy developed by Luis Stecco, a pysiotherapist from Northern Italy. It focuses on the myofascial system, in particular the deep muscular fascia. Fascia Manipulation is a new paradigm in manual therapy, dealing with many muscular skeletal injuries in an acute onset stage or chronic injury state.

Nowadays science proposes the human body is a biotensegrity system three dimensional model.

 

Benefits - Restores fascia to its physiological state - Improves balance - Restores coordination - Increases joint mobility - Preventing injury - Increases flexibility - Increases awareness - Postural abnormalities - Acute and chronic pain reduction - Sports specific benefits - increases perception, awareness, improves motor skills.

Neuromuscular Therapy 

Neuromuscular Physical Therapy is the assesment, detection and correction of pain associated with neuromuscular diseases, injury and dysfunction. Through the application of physical manual treatment therapy exercise, activities and assistive devises.

Neuromuscular therapy is a specialised deep tissue application using digital pressure and friction to reduce, release area of strain and pain in the muscle. Trigger point therapy is one of the main techniques used to reduce pain in musculoskeletal injuries and pain management. Neuromuscular therapy is recognised world over as a scientific approach to modern conditions in pain, dysfunction and disease.

Benefits - people suffering from acute onset from chronic pain, weakness, diminished flexibility all can be addressed by neuromuscular therapy. Headaches - Migraines - Back Pain - Shoulder Pain - Frozen Shoulder - Carpel tunnel syndrome - Tennis elbow - Joint pain - Postural issues - misinligements - Tim J disorder - Sciatica - sports related injuries - breathing problems - Asma - Motor Control - Mobility - Strains / Sprains - Fracture - Nerve damage - Plantar Facilitis Sports specific - performance, flexibility, mobility, awareness, coordination, muscle balancing.

Sports Massage 

Sports massage is a form of massage involving the manipulation of soft tissue. Benefits a person involved in regular physical, team sports, weight training, physical manual work and general population.  Sports massage is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue caused by repetitive strenuous physical activity and trauma caused by sports.

Massage is focusesd specifically on areas of the body which are tender, sore, painful to the person. A full body massage is required to rebalance soften and restore aching tired painful muscles. Sports massage can be used in pre event, intermediate, or post event. Sports massage can be a preventitive treatment for possible common injuries.

Benefits of Sports massage. Physiological and psychological effects and benefits of sports massage Improved Relexation - minimising muscle tension - higher range of movement - improved circulation - improved lymphmatic system - muscle balancing (glide) - improved flow of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles.
