Clinical Bodywork
A unique approach to pain management.
More than just massage.
Clinical bodywork is a combination of manipulative techniques, including massage, intended to reduce pain through soft tissue mobilization and the restoration of healthy neuromuscular patterns.
Individualized.
Each session is tailored specifically for the client's body. No two bodies are exactly the same so no two treatments should be either.
​
A thorough assessment.
After objectively listening to the client's history, the session begins with a thorough assessment. This includes: mobility, strength and orthopedic testing, postural and gait analysis, and more.
Active.
Generally clients are active participants in the healing process. Clients are asked to activate certain muscle groups in order to stretch and re-educate neurological patterns. As a result, clients wear athletic clothes during the session without the need of a top sheet.
​
Goal oriented.
The end goal is client independence from regular medical intervention. Ideally after only 2-3 sessions the client will have enough pain reduction that pain management can be done at home. Recommended exercises are provided to help facilitate this transition away from care.
