Rest and Recover

When you train and work hard, your body needs a little help recovering with gentle passive treatments to improve tissue healing. Stress in the muscles and tendons can lead to inefficient movement patterns and injuries. Additionally, stiffness or restriction in the joints and spine will lead to imbalances in forces and eventually inflammation or arthritis. You don't need to wait until you are in pain to address the underlying tension that can be treated with skilled hands-on treatment. After all, we all want to prevent injuries, poor aging, and dis-ease so that we enjoy our Colorado active lifestyle! 

​

There are many techniques that can be used to improve joint and muscle health including manual therapy (movement of joints), cupping, massage, passive stretching, and heat therapy.  Cupping therapy is the application of plastic or glass cups on soft tissues to apply negative pressure (the opposite of massage) to improve blood flow and tissue extensibility leading to decreased pain and improved movement. The cups can also be applied with active or passive movement to improve muscle function and activation. Manual therapy requires the skilled treatment of a doctor to improve the joint mechanics and prevent wear and tear that leads to pain and arthritis.
