After Care-
  It is of extreme importance to drink plenty of water following a session, as toxins have been dislodged in the process of tissue manipulation and need to be flushed from the system as quickly as possible.  Not complying with this suggestion can lead to unnecessary muscle soreness as well as feeling sluggish and flu-like.  Amount of water to drink is half one's body weight in ounces of water.

Proper hydration is key and will help to reduce the "knotting up" of muscle tissue that leads to further pain and can cause injury to the tissue.  Water is the best, stay away from sodas and coffee as consumption of these beverages can cause further dehydration of tissues and further "stuckness" of one's tissues leading to decrease in range of motion in various areas throughout one's body.
An excellent recommendation for further education of your body's many needs for water is the book by F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. "Your Body's Many Cries For Water" which may be purchased from our on-line store by clicking here.

Myofascial Release:

Myofascial Release Therapy is an extremely effective hands-on technique that works by applying gentle sustained pressure to eliminate pain and restore flexibility and motion to the fascia (connective tissue). 		Deep Tissue:

Using Deep Tissue we can assess the cause and type of conditions a patient presents, which is crucial to treating them successfully. This involves strong pressure used on "trigger points" and tendons to release contracted muscles and clear troubled areas.		Reflexology:

Reflexology is the art of touching points on feet, hands and ears that correspond directly with the organs, glands and other systems in the body. The reflex points communicate messages causing deep relaxation, detoxification, pain relief, stimulation of the immune and circulatory system, and facilitate an overall balance and well being.
