Massage therapy
Massage therapy can help get your body back on track by loosening the muscles made sore by bad posture. Our massage therapy helps the body to alleviate the stress and tension on the soft tissue and support healthy and natural movements. Massages also help get rid of toxins in muscles. They are carried away through the bloodstream and disposed of as waste. Less toxins, like lactic acids, muscles will begin to feel much healthier and pain diminishes. Continual massage therapy helps the muscles loosen up and relaxed joints have more freedom and pressure points are eased. The body can then position itself in the correct, healthy and natural posture, avoiding poor posture, developed over time as a reaction to pain.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a manual therapy that focuses on joints, muscles and spine. It is a treatment to help restore movement in constrained joints and improve flexibility through shortened tissues, a by-product of a sedentary lifestyle and less than optimal posture. It is a drug-free, non-invasive manual therapy that helps improve health across all body systems by manipulating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework and correct the body’s natural position. Osteopathic treatment is to positively affect the body’s nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems.
An osteopathic practitioner not only focuses on the problem area but uses manual techniques to balance all the body systems, and to provide overall good health and wellbeing.
