Your therapist begins with a functional assessment, locating trigger points and tension patterns. Treatment uses sustained pressure, muscle energy techniques, and corrective stretches. Pressure is adjusted to comfort; expect focused work, communication, and a plan for follow-up care.

Some pressure can feel intense as adhesions are released, but therapists tailor depth to your tolerance. Mild soreness for 24–72 hours is normal. Communicate openly about discomfort so pressure can be modified for a safe and effective session.

Frequency depends on condition severity. Acute or severe issues may require weekly sessions for 4–6 weeks, then taper to biweekly or monthly maintenance. Your therapist will recommend a personalized schedule and home exercises to support progress and prevent recurrence.

Contraindications include uncontrolled hypertension, active infection, deep vein thrombosis, recent surgery, or open wounds. Pregnancy and certain medical conditions require physician clearance. We perform a thorough intake and consult when necessary to ensure safety before proceeding.

Wear loose clothing, avoid heavy meals immediately before your appointment, and hydrate well. Bring relevant medical history or imaging, arrive ten minutes early, and prepare to communicate pain locations and goals so the therapist can tailor treatment.

Aftercare includes drinking water, applying heat or ice as needed, and performing gentle stretches recommended by your therapist. Expect possible mild soreness; avoid vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours. Follow prescribed home exercises and schedule follow-ups for lasting results.
