FASCIAL STRETCH THERAPY
Fascial stretch is a great way to move our bodies while tuning into them. Fascial Stretch Therapy is a one-on-one appointment where the practitioner utilizes different stretching techniques to decrease pain, restore function, move and feel better in fitness, sport, and life!
WHAT IS FASCIAL STRETCH?
Fascial Stretch Therapy helps to increase your mobility and decrease pain through a series of table-based assisted stretching techniques which focuses on the fascial lines that connect through and wrap around muscles, nerves, joints, and organs.
Your fascial stretch therapy practitioner will cater the sessions to your specific needs and leave you feeling relaxed and decompressed.

What is Dry Needling?Dry Needling is a form of Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS). Using acupuncture-like needles, the therapist will place the needle into muscles that have tight bands or “trigger points.” The ultimate goal of Dry Needling is to cause a “twitch response” within the muscle. This can feel like an ache, tightness, or small contraction within the muscle. It is brief and the discomfort typically subsides immediately. The purpose of Dry Needling is to create a neuromuscular change which can help to decrease muscle tension, improve muscle strength and flexibility, and, overall, improve symptoms of pain and dysfunction.
