Initial Assessment and Myofascial Release
Description
Initial Assessment & Treatment (New Clients / Complex Conditions) Recommended for new clients and anyone presenting with a specific injury, acute pain, or complex movement restrictions. This appointment includes 15 minutes for functional assessment and health history review so we can better understand what you're experiencing and plan the treatment accordingly. A slower, more focused treatment for stubborn areas of tension, restriction or limited movement. Unlike a traditional massage, myofascial work uses little to no lotion and involves sustained pressure and gentle tension through the tissues rather than continuous massage strokes. I may also incorporate movement, positioning, stretching, traction or decompression as we work through an area. You may be asked to move, change positions or participate in parts of the treatment so we can see how an area responds and adjust as we go. This is a good option if you enjoy more focused, interactive bodywork or have an area that always seems to feel tight, restricted or difficult to move. If you're looking for a more traditional massage experience, choose Therapeutic Massage instead.
