Rehabilitation Bodywork* with Jessica Riesgo
This treatment uses a more manual and structurally focused approach then a "typical" massage. It involves functional movement assessment, joint mobilization, hands on-techniques to address soft tissue dysfunction, and neuromuscular reeducation. This type of treatment is typically done with little if any lotion and the client is dressed in athletic wear or loose fitting clothing.This hands-on approach is utilized to restore structural balance throughout the body, decrease pain patterns, increase mobility, decrease soft tissue restrictions, and reeducate muscles and movements to restore a pain-free lifestyle. Sessions are goal specific, designed to treat and address functional movement limitations and acute discomfort in a specific region or throughout musculoskeletal patterns . Treatments are determined specifically to your individual goals.
Integrated Massage Therapy* now offered with Brianna Alvarez, LMT.
A more traditional approach to massage, this work incorporates a conglomeration of techniques to treat a range of issues. Whether your discomfort is from pregnancy, sports, or work, this treatment is designed to promote circulation & healing, and decrease stress in your body and mind.

*Descriptions of complementary add-on therapies:
- Instrument assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (Gua Sha/Rock Blading )
- used to introduce controlled microtrauma to the soft tissue area to stimulate a local inflammatory response and healthy blood circulation. This initiates the re-absorption of excessive scar tissue, and the remodeling of the soft tissue structure that was affected is facilitated.
- Hydrotherapy (hot &/or cold applications)
- Moist heat is used to enhance relaxation, treat chronic injuries and pain, and to help prepare for an activity. Ice is used to decrease swelling, relieve pain, and treat injuries.
- Cupping
- Strategically using cupping can increase the blood flow to specific areas that need healing. The increased blood and energy flow will lead to faster healing.
- Nerve/ muscle flossing
- intermittent compression during either passive or active mobilization. It is both a powerful and effective technique that aims to restore joint range of motion and separate matted down or injured tissue by promoting increased blood flow to restricted areas and swollen joints
- Assisted stretching
- uses active movement and reciprocal inhibition to achieve optimal flexibility. Using a 2.0 second stretch has proven to be the key in avoiding reflexive contraction of the antagonistic muscle. Without activating muscle group contraction, restoration of full range of motion and flexibility can be successfully achieved.
- Theragun/Percussion/Vibration
- relaxes the body, Increases blood and lymphatic circulation, Stimulates nerve receptors, Enhances the range of motion, Encourages healing of atrophied muscles by “waking them up”
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation
- targets the muscle itself, specifically through the motor nerves. This creates a muscle contraction to recruit more muscle fibers when training; warming up or recovering.
- Kinesiotaping
- Taping areas that veer away from correct posture can help gently support proper posture. Proper taping also enables weak muscles to function efficiently, reduces pain and fatigue, and protects against cramping, over-extension, and over-contraction.
- Parrafin for hands($5)
- It acts like a form of heat therapy and can help increase blood flow, relax muscles, and decrease joint stiffness. Paraffin wax can also minimize muscle spasms and inflammation as well as treat sprains.
- Dry brushing
- stimulates the skin receptors while increasing blood circulation and promoting lymph flow/drainage
- Facial guasha
- relieves muscle tension, promotes lymphatic drainage, and increases blood circulation into the 42 muscles you have in your face
- Hot or cold stones
- Heated or iced stones used to work the soft tissue help improve tissue flexibility and relax muscles.
- Wide Variety of Pain Relieving Topicals
Expanded sessions include Corrective Movement strategies for self care. Neuromuscular reeducation will improve your rehabilitation, balance, and ability to practice proper ergonomics. Clients are introduced to self care tools to treat and manage their own pain and improve physical functioning.
