massage therapy

Rather than specializing in just one modality, Lauren combines techniques based on your individual needs. She assesses, listens to your body, and tailors the session accordingly. Here’s a breakdown of the techniques integrated.

  1. Sports Massage

    • Description: Sports Massage is a specialized form of massage therapy that focus on the needs of active individuals and athletes.

    • Benefits:

      • Preparation

      • Recovery

      • Injury mitigation

      • Performance enhancement

      • Decreased sympathetic nervous system tone

  2. Functional Range Release (FRR):

    • Description: FRR is a deep tissue approach that targets specific muscle groups. It aims to improve joint mobility, release tension, and restore optimal function.

    • Benefits:

      • Increased range of motion

      • Pain relief

      • Improved joint health

      • Decreased sympathetic nervous system tone

  3. Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT):

    • Description: NMT focuses on addressing trigger points, nerve entrapment, and muscle imbalances. It combines precise manual techniques to reduce pain and discomfort.

    • Benefits:

      • Pain relief

      • Muscle tension reduction

      • Improved muscle function

      • Decreased Sympathetic Nervous System Tone

  4. Deep Tissue Massage

    • Description: targets the inner layers of muscles and connective tissues. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to address specific musculoskeletal issues.

    • Benefits:

      1. Enhanced tissue quality

      2. Relaxation

      3. Decreased sympathetic nervous system tone

Lauren understands that aches and pains can hinder your daily life and performance. Performance Therapy is designed to provide a comprehensive solution, combining various approaches to help you regain comfort, mobility, and overall well-being. Here’s how we approach it:

  1. Manual Therapy and Soft Tissue Work:

    • Utilizes sports massage, Functional Range Release, deep tissue massage, and neuromuscular therapy to target specific muscle groups. These techniques promote relaxation, reduce muscle tension, and enhance blood flow. These methods help improve joint mobility, release tension, and restore optimal function.

    • Benefits:

      • Pain reduction

      • Increased range of motion

      • Improved muscle function

      • Enhanced tissue and nervous system relaxation

  2. Biomechanics Assessment:

    • Analyzes your movement patterns, breathing patterns and joint function. Understanding biomechanics helps to identify any contributing factors to your discomfort.

    • Benefits:

      • Targeted treatment

      • Mitigation of future issues

      • Improved movement efficiency

  3. Exercise Suggestion and Program Modification:

    • Based on your individual needs, we recommend specific exercises to strengthen weak areas, improve stability and mobility, and enhance overall function.

    • Benefits:

      • Customized approach

      • Faster recovery

      • Long-term results

    4. Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) Mobility:

    • FRC focuses on joint health, flexibility, and controlled movement. We incorporate FRC principles to enhance your functional range of motion.

    • Benefits:

      • Improved joint function

      • Injury mitigation

      • Greater mobility
