Kinesiotaping
Although massage Therapy is our focus, kinesiotaping is offered by a certified kinesiotaping practitioner (CKTP), as well as personalized stretching programs and wellness & fitness guidelines.
The question I often get – ”Does this stuff really work?” The answer is – YES! (when applied appropriately). The “just stick it where it hurts method” rarely yields affective results. Specific applications will yield specific results. SMAC has a certified Kinesiotaper (yes, there is a real certification for this taping method). As with any other “modality”, KT is another tool to use in your training protocol. It’s not an end all pain miracle, and is not meant for daily application in lieu of proper treatment for injury or discomfort.
Fascial Therapies
Specific manual techniques are used to increase movement and hydration to the tissues and enhance comfortable movement. This is performed both passively and actively (so expect to actively participate).
Neuromuscular Therapy
Hands on techniques focused on specific areas to help improve the neurological function with the muscle (neuro-muscular). Some people call it "deep tissue therapy".
Cupping
A fabulous addition to treatments using various cups with suction to increase vasodilation to tight areas--suggesting increased blood flow and less restricted fascial spaces that aids to improve function.
SASTM (Sound Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation)
Tissue is manipulated via a special tool to help manipulate fascia like restrictions and scar tissue to aid and facilitate healing and restoration of function to an area.
Stretching
Many forms used and taught for home care maintenance.
