Our Approach
Neuromuscular Therapy
A highly-specialized form of manual therapy
that corrects pain and dysfunction by treating
trigger points, muscle adhesions, and fascial
patterns.

Proprioceptive Theory to restore balance to
the affected tissues by decreasing muscle
spindle cell activity and restoring length to
shortened tissues.

that it encourages the natural drainage of the
lymph, which carries waste products away
