Healthy muscular development can only occur with comfortable & efficient movement. This work utilizes various modalities to foster that.
Some of the observed benefits are as follows:
- Enhances whole body health
- Reduces inflammation
- Reduces swelling in joints
- Refines proprioception
- Develops focus in sport
- Increases range of motion
-
Improves muscle tone
-
Promotes relaxation
- Speeds healing
- Frees up movement
The Science
PEMF:
The
injured cell develops an electrical imbalance that creates an
inefficient
membrane metabolism. The membrane is the protective wall of the cell. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy affects the relationship between
positive and negative ions surrounding the cell. This re-establishes the membrane potential. This reinforced membrane
creates a battle cry for more oxygen & nutrients. The body responds
with increased microcirculation
(bringing more energy to the
cell), and more fibroblasts (which generate materials to
repair damaged tissue).
Photobiomodulation (LLLT):
Muscle fatigue results in a variety of complex physiological systems.
The healthy body requires a rebooting post exercise. LLLT stimulates
this rebooting in many ways. Mitochondria (the powerhouse of
the cell) absorb the light energy to generate muscle repair; and ATP
increases. ATP is the energy required for muscle
contractions. Additionally, the body's rebuilding process will be in a
phase of cell proliferation after LLLT, generating more fibroblasts and collagen to expedite the metabolic and
structural changes needed for high functioning muscles.
Bodywork:
Manual therapy increases blood flow to restricted muscles and improves circulation of
the lymph system—the network that transmits infection-fighting white
blood cells throughout the body. It relaxes the muscles, which
in turn reduces nerve compression.
