The Myofascial Release Massage (MRM) is a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. For more information. Recommended for anyone, and specifically people suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Chronic Acute Stiff Neck, General stress and tension, low back pain, plantar Fascitis, Osteoporosis, Cystic Fibrosis, Scoliosis, Rotator Cuff Injuries, Whiplash, Shinsplints, and much more.

Myofascial release is used to evaluate and treat restrictions in the body's contractile connective tissues (muscles) and non-contractile supportive connective tissues (fascia) by the application of gentle traction, pressures and positioning. Fascia is a complex supportive web throughout the body affecting all components of the musculoskeletal, nervous and visceral (organ) systems. It surrounds groups of muscle fibres, and entire muscle groups and organs.

Reichian-Myofascial Release Therapy combines two proven, successful treatments for pain: Reichian psychotherapy, which treats the causes of emotional pain, and myofascial release physical therapy, which treats the causes of physical pain. Reichian psychotherapy is a proven psychological protocol that utilizes both conversation and body work to resolve emotional trauma.

While we do not currently offer formal seminars, we do offer Reichian-Myofascial Release training to certified professionals through our Therapy for the Therapist program. A series of training DVD's is currently under production and will be available in the near future.

Any time is a good time. You don't need to wait until you're stressed or injured. Too often people wait until they reach this state to get a massage. Instead of waiting until you've injured yourself or when pain starts, regular massage works wonders for preventative care. It is a wonderful way to cope with stress both physical and emotional.

The answer will depend on the reasons for getting a massage. If a client comes in for injury relief and to relieve chronic tightness that is interfering with their daily lives, weekly sessions maybe necessary for a while to see improvement in relief and healing. For those who use massage as preventative care, once ? twice a month is the norm. Some come in more often just because they enjoy it that much.

All rehabilitated animals are released in clean and oil free areas chosen by federal and state trustee agency personnel and IBRRC. If the area that they were captured in is still oiled then the animals are sometimes transported to more remote locations for release.

Starting December 1996 we plan to make intermediary releases every month or so, and "real" releases every three months or so. The 0.75 release was made available around December 11, 1996. In April 2000 0.90 was released. See versions.html for a list of all released versions.

Sometimes. There are certain medications that may create a concern when receiving CranioSacral or massage therapy services. Also, there are certain medical conditions that may require a doctor's release. Post-operative patients sometimes are required to obtain a medical release. If you have recently had a serious injury or surgery, please tell us when you're scheduling your appointment.

Myofascial pain syndrome is a condition that affects soft tissue which is commonly associated with tender, painful muscles and connective tissue. These areas of pain are usually near the spine, upper neck, shoulders, hips and other joints. The most noticeable symptom of myofascial pain disorder is the development of sore and inflamed localized areas called trigger points.

Due to my interest in anatomy, I tend to be somewhat more familiar with how the body moves than many (but not all) massage therapists. I attempt to understand client complaints in light of my anatomical understanding. This fact, combined with my ability to gently stretch all major muscle groups, makes my work feel deeper than the kind of work done by others.

Massage therapy is a comprehensive intervention involving a range of techniques to manipulate the soft tissues and joints of the body. The purpose of massage therapy is to prevent, develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function or relieve pain. (Massage Therapy Act, 1991)

That depends on the type of massage. A lighter massage shouldn't hurt, but at the same time it may not work out the stress that's deep within the muscles. Muscles that have been chronically tight may have that "good hurt" feeling with a deeper massage. A sharp pain may indicate a muscle has been injured and has some sort of inflammation, and deep tissue massage may be too much for that area. A deep massage may leave some residual pain the next day. Everybody has a different pain threshold.

Human touch has been known to be a powerful healing modality for thousands of years beginning with the Chinese about 4,000 years ago. We know that massage increases blood flow which speeds the healing process as it oxygenates all body tissues and carries away metabolic wastes which are then either eliminated or reprocessed.

No. There are a few medical conditions that are counter indicated for massage. Before the first session you will briefly discuss your general medical history with Eddie and indicate any problems or concerns that you might have. In this manner your massage experience will be both safe and enjoyable.

A massage will make you feel worse if you are suffering from any contagious or infectious disease no matter how mild it may seem. If you have a cold, flu or fever DO NOT BOOK a session. We will be very happy to see you once you are feeling 100% better. If you have certain other medical conditions, for your health and well-being massage should not be performed or may be restricted.
