Auto Accident Massage Therapy
If you are seeking massage therapy for an auto accident, and want to bill a motor vehicle insurance claim, please, call our office at (503) 550-3719 and schedule an appointment. There is no cost to you. Then bring in your massage prescription (with ICD10 Codes) from your doctor, along with the insurance company name, claim adjustors name and phone number, claim number, and date of accident.
Sports Massage
A form of bodywork beneficial to anyone who leads an active lifestyle. A variety of massage techniques used to prepare the body for athletic activity, maintain it in optimal condition, and help prevent and recover from injuries.
Deep Tissue Massage
A therapy similar to Swedish massage but with deeper pressure, resulting in the release of chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deeper layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).
Myofascial Release
Connective tissues called fascia surround the muscles, bones, nerves, and organs of the body. This form of targeted manipulation attempts to release tension in the fascia due to trauma, postural dysfunction and repetitive stresses. Using myofascial release will decrease pain and compensatory patterns, provide greater mobility, and increase circulation.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are described as hyper-irritable spots in the fascia surrounding skeletal muscle, and can be felt as nodules in taut bands of muscle fibers. This bodywork technique involves the application of pressure to these points of tender muscle fibers, in order to relieve pain, release tightness and reduce dysfunction 'triggered' in other parts of the body.
Muscle Energy Techniques (MET)
MET describes a broad class of manual therapy techniques directed at improving musculoskeletal and/or joint function, and relieving pain. Muscle energy techniques are used to improve function of affected area(s), normalize joint motion, and reduce muscular hypertonicity and pain.
Cyriax Cross Fiber Friction
Developed by James Cyriax, an orthopedic doctor in the 1930's, this technique is a deep transverse (cross-fiber) friction applied across the grain of tendons and ligaments. This acts to breakup the cross links of scar tissue, realign the fibers, increase blood supply and rehydrate the tissue. This will help decrease pain, and restore mobility and function to the affected area.
Active and Passive Release
A type of soft tissue therapy that focuses on relieving tissue tension through the removal of adhesions, which can develop as a result of repetitive use. This method also helps relieve tight muscles and nerve trigger points, greatly reducing joint stress or muscular pain.
Stretching
A manual force applied to a specific muscle (or muscle group) that is flexed or stretched in order to improve the muscle's elasticity, and achieve comfortable muscle tone. The result is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility, and range of motion.
