I have been in business since early 2002, giving me more experience that many other MTs in the Asheville area. Over those 20 years, I have learned several very important techniques that I use to get to the root cause of chronic pain. Rather than just rub some muscles and make them feel good temporarily, I like to find out which muscles are over and which are under-working. The best way to do this is via NeuroMuscular Reprogramming. This advanced technique is predicated upon specific muscle testing that reveals muscular inhibitions, which I then retrain to work efficiently. The end result is much better balance within the muscular system and much less pain. I also use Deep Tissue, Sports, Trigger Point, Myofascial Release and Swedish to work the muscles, depending on what the body tells me at the time. My motto is "No pain, No gain does not apply here." Deep pressure is fine, but if it hurts, the brain will simply NOT allow the muscle to relax and will fight back. The client gets a much better session when we dance, instead of wrestle.
