A specialized type of myofascial release, ART treats soft tissue by combining manipulation and movement.  It addresses problems with nerves, muscles, tendons, and ligaments and is more targeted than traditional MFR. Typically treatments are 3-5 sessions twice per week. Shorter sessions are common and longer sessions combining ART with MFR and other modalities (i.e. deep tissue, cupping, CST) can be very effective. ART is specifically used for soft tissue conditions resulting from repetitive overuse and injury including sports, computer work, service work, and physical labor.

Myofascial (my-o-FASH-e-ul) release is a highly effective manual therapy treatment that restores soft tissue health and consequently relieves tension and improves movement. It is performed without lubricants and uses sustained pressure and tension to free restrictions within the connective tissue. MFR facilitates permanent changes in soft tissue pliability, organization, movement, and function. It addresses the interconnectedness of the whole body, improving systemic tension to relieve specific discomfort. Typically, treatments once or twice per week for 2-3 weeks is recommended for sustained results leading to optimal physical health and rebalance. 

Cupping uses silicone, glass, or plastic suction cups to stimulate the healing process and relieve muscle tension by lifting the skin and increasing blood flow to the applied area. It can help with chronic pain and inflammation. 

The Feldenkrais (FEL-duhn-krayz) Method is a somatic, or body-oriented, intervention designed to help people reconnect with their bodies and learn ways to move and live more gracefully, efficiently, and sustainably. You can experience the Feldenkrais Method in two ways. Awareness through Movement® lessons are taught in a group setting, with students following the verbal instructions of the teacher. Functional Integration® sessions are one on one lessons where the fully clothed student is guided through touch, movement and verbal instruction. Movements are very gentle, relaxing, easy, and pleasurable.
