THE 3 PILLARS OF ORTHOPEDIC MASSAGE
Assessment – Treatment – Preventative Maintenance
Assessment
IDENTIFY THE ISSUE
We start with a comprehensive assessment that ensures your treatment is tailored to you, your specific condition and your goals in order to identify the issue.
Your assessment begins with a standard questionnaire and targeted conversation about the pain you’re suffering from. We then perform range of motion, passive range of motion, and resistance testing. Once complete we’ll be able to single in on the cause of your pain or discomfort, allowing us to move forward with treatment.
“Sergey was able to quickly assess my shoulder and neck and fixed my tightness and pain.”
-Ally L.
Treatment
TARGETED TREATMENT
Once we’ve isolated the issue that’s causing you pain we begin treating it with Advanced Cyriax Frictions which target tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, joints and nerves to provide immediate pain relief.
Our treatments are hyper-focused and highly specialized to the exact physical problem you’re facing. Using our extensive knowledge of the musculoskeletal system, we start off by opening up the surface muscles of the affected area in order to access the deep tissue where tendons and ligaments are located. We then generally apply a back and forth motion to the lesion causing pain or discomfort, which provides immediate pain relief and mobility. Once treatment is finished we put you in the best position to remain pain free with preventive maintenance.
“I am blown away by Sergey’s treatment.”
– Vern W.
Preventative Maintenance
PREVENTING FURTHER PAIN
Before leaving we tailor and develop a preventive maintenance plan which well help you avoid pain or discomfort between sessions. Primarily made up of stretches that will keep the affected area mobile in order to promote further healing, these plans play a big role in your recovery and are simple enough to do at home or work.
“Really great experience. The assessment and recommended stretches were definitely bonuses!”
-Danika J
