Shockwave therapy treatments are non-invasive and promote accelerated recovery of injured soft tissue, bone, tendon, ligament, and joint pain by increasing micro-circulation and increasing metabolic activity. A shockwave is an intense but very short energy wave travelling faster than the speed of sound. It provides successful relief of chronic pain and restores mobility. Permanent relief typically begins about 72 hours following treatment. Coverage available from most insurance companies

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the practice of penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles which are then activated through gentle and specific movements of the practitioner's hands or with electrical stimulation.
Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe the human body has more than 2,000 acupuncture points connected by pathways or meridians. These pathways create an energy flow (Qi, pronounced "chee") through the body that is responsible for overall health. Disruption of the energy flow can cause disease. By applying acupuncture to certain points, it is thought to improve the flow of Qi, thereby improving health.
Studies have shown that acupuncture is effective for a variety of conditions.

Manual Osteopath
Manual Osteopathic Therapy uses hands-on skills for investigation and treatment of body dysfunctions. The whole body is examined, and mechanical disruptions are treated whether symptoms exist or not. Simply put, let’s say you have right shoulder pain – expect the Manual Osteopathic Therapist to examine the joint and soft tissue around the shoulder and also:
- Assess the pelvis, because if imbalanced will drop your shoulder and create a strain;
- Check the spinal column, because inflamed nerves can send pain to the shoulder;
- Palpate the liver and gall bladder, because dysfunction in those organs radiate pain to the right shoulder;
- Assess the fluid dynamics in and out of the shoulder, because congestion is linked with pain.
Imbalances found are gently treated with techniques that engage the dysfunctional tissue until function is normalized. Joints are mobilized by muscle-resisted techniques, soft-tissue is restored to healthier states. Fluids are released from congested areas and gently flushed in the direction of drainage. Changes are often felt immediately or shortly after the treatment.

Cupping

Cupping
Dynamic cupping massage combines traditional massage movements along with the use of a suction device (typically a cup) to create negative pressure on the skin. Special cups are applied to the treatment area in order to increase blood flow and relieve heat and stagnation in areas of the body that are tense, tight or in pain. The word "dynamic" refers to using the cups to make sweeping motions along the length and width of the muscles to identify and relieve any adhesions that are discovered between layers of fascia, as this is often a source of muscle pain or stiffness.

· Stimulates lymphatic circulation
· Encourages blood flow

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, is a gentle form of massage used to relieve painful swelling in your arms and legs caused by lymphedema. Lymphedema often affects people recovering from breast cancer surgery. Lymphedema happens when your tissues retain fluid left behind after your cardiovascular system sends blood to your tissues and organs. The remaining fluid is called lymph. Normally, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart via a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes. When something disrupts your lymphatic system's process, lymph collects in your arms and legs, making them swell. A massage therapist uses lymphatic drainage massage techniques to move lymph from your tissues to your lymph nodes, which eases the swelling in your tissues.
