This is not your typical spa massage. We use bodywork as tool for pain relief, injury prevention, to increase mobility and improve physical performance. Manual therapy relieves tense and tight muscles, soothes aching tendons and restores mobility to stiff joints. All manual therapy is applied at the deep tissue level, with specificity and individuality taken into account.
We utilize manual therapy in the following practices and techniques:
SPORTS MASSAGE: This is targeted manual therapy to reduce the aches/pains from training load and aid the body’s recovery from high intensity training and repetitive movement patterns.
MYOFASCIAL RELEASE: A technique that softens and releases the muscles and fascia by lifting, bending, and elongating the tissues.
TRIGGER POINT RELEASE: Trigger points are "hot spots" in the muscle created by prolonged tension over time that can be released through manual therapy.
We also offer DRY NEEDLING. This is the therapeutic application of needles into trigger points for the treatment of pain and muscle tension.
JOINT MOBILIZATION: Joint health is maintained by free movement in all directions. Utilizing myofascial release in combination with joint mobilization allows for everything to "open" and creates more space in the joints.
“I struggled for several years to resolve the knee pain I experienced while running. I’ve seen a variety of different PT’s over the years, and I found PT Elite to be most helpful in my treatment. What I love most about this clinic is that soft tissue work is a significant part of their treatment plan. No other clinic I had previously been to suggested this as an option for me. The soft tissue work, along with diligent self care on my part, was key to my newfound pain-free activity.”
