This client is a professional guitarist.
Years of repetitive hand use create predictable patterns in the fascia of the shoulder, chest, and arm.
Fascia isn’t just wrapping that covers our muscles...
It’s a connective system designed to glide, slide, and transfer force.
Under repeated load, stress, or compression… that glide can diminish. We develop adhesions to where the layers don’t move as easily. Then naturally the system is designed to compensate… and we feel sore. 🤕
works by introducing , which gently lifts tissue instead of pressing it down. Incorporating with corrective movement helps improve fluid exchange, reduce compression, and gives the nervous system new movement input.
Think less “just stretch more,” and instead restoring lubrication and movement between layers so the body can reorganize around a different pattern.
I’m a broken record in my practice when I say “you can’t force a muscle into submission,” these sessions provide best results as a treatment plan, rather than a “one and done” appointment… We didn’t get this way overnight, so just like it took repetition to get ourselves in this spot in the first place… it takes a bit of patience and consistency to create new “muscle memory.” But the cool thing is you can get significant improvement in range of motion even in just one session.
When we have less pain and inflammation we sleep better, perform better, and overall get to enjoy things more again.
