Pain is often the result of muscular imbalance.

We offer a unique approach to working 'with' the body's natural built-in maintenance, recovery, and health management abilities with respect to it's largest and most often under-appreciated system... |
"Disease does not occur unexpectedly.
Each and every day we 'live and work' within an incredibly wonderful example of engineering, strength, and efficient design... Our own body!! This incredible "machine" is greatly influenced by a very commonsense organization of ropes, pulleys, and levers… the muscles, tendons, and skeleton. For example, consider that our body orchestrates and coordinates over 200 muscles to take one smooth step... Muscle Management® is about managing all of the above by means of respecting and responding to the vital role muscles play in our body's overall well-being.
Negative influences can include everyday pressures and stresses:
These are but a sample that can produce reactive muscular tension and pain.
Pain can often be so relentless and widespread that radical medical intervention is required to reduce pain. However, pain management clinicians have found that non-invasive corrective massage that targets specific problematic muscles can provide pain relief. This 'Muscle Management' approach is often described as "ischemic compression," "soft tissue release", "acupressure", and deep tissue massage, among many other terms. These related disciplines usually produce muscular balance and relaxation, making it possible to return to pain-free fitness and health. We refer to our approach as "corrective massage" with the additional intention of correcting common distortions.
Our Self Help section can be useful for those looking to take an active role in their own Muscle Management®.
