No wonder your muscles sometimes form taut bands and 'knots'. Which RMT techniques will have the best outcomes? IASTM: CLICK HERE & LEARN INSTRUMENT ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION
IASTM uses specifically designed stainless steel instruments to identify and treat areas of soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation. Instruments are designed with specific edges, allowing for control over the invasiveness of the treatment. As the edge encounters adhesions within the tissue, it catches and pulls on them causing them to separate under tension.

Valued patients:
We have obtained all of the required PPE for practice and are set to reopen for treatment on May 19th. Existing Patients: your therapist has maintained a request for treatment list and will contact those patients first. NOTE:
There are Covid-19 related forms provided on our website in the FORMS section, which you may print and fill out in advance (in order to reduce contact transmission in the office). Upon arrival for your scheduled treatment: Please wait in your vehicle and you will be texted when it’s time to come up—unless you have mobility issues, in which case you may wait in the main lobby. You can find your RMT's cell number here. We’re so pleased to now be able to offer our Prenatal Patients the option of treatment in prone, at any stage of pregnancy. Ask your RMT about it when you book your next treatment! 😊🌱 Carl Berry looks forward to testing out the new Prenatel Massage Pillow... 👀🤣 #professionalshenanigans

At New Leaf Kinetic Arts, patient education is an important part of our treatment approach. By adding to your knowledge of anatomical function, we hope to prevent recurrance of injury and postural dysfunction, and to augment your treatment plan. Our practitioners, with over 50 years of collective experience within the fields of Massage Therapy, Acupuncture and Hypnotherapy, are pleased to share our explanations of anatomy, stretching, health tips and our unique treatment approaches with you. Follow us, check back often, and see what’s new from New Leaf! This patient volunteered to share a video of their Electroacupuncture session: You can see how the muscle contraction is strong in some areas but weaker in others. MSEA can help to regulate & restore motor nerve response, providing better muscle strength & support of the spine & joints. It flushes calcium buildup out of tight (contracted) muscles by rapidly engaging calcium pumps within the muscle tissue. And, electrical stimulus causes the release of your body's own pain killers (endogenous opioids).
The end result? You can feel looser, have reduced pain and better muscle recruitment & range of motion. Oh, and most people sleep MUCH better, too! "Stress gives you access to your heart . . ."
This shift in thinking could make a profound difference in your health! Watch: http://www.ted.com/talks/kelly_mcgonigal_how_to_make_stress_your_friend At the end, the speaker makes some very important points about Oxytocin release as part of your body's stress management. Regular Massage Therapy treatments can also increase the levels of this hormone: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/23251939/ |
