Active Rehab

Imbalances are one of the main things we focus on in Active Rehab. This is when one part of your body is underperforming compared to another. For example, when our core is weak it can often cause the lower back become tight and painful to assist it in day to day function. Once we identify some of the imbalances around your body, we will create a program to help work on the affected structures to help you feel in sync with your body. Some things that can cause imbalances are injuries, sedentary behavior, genetic composition, and more. Contact us and learn more about how we can help improve your health.

Cupping & Blading

Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and even cellulite. It is effective in treating deep tissue scarring, muscular knots and dispelling tension.Blading is a technique has been used to help thousands of people and athletes recover from strained and pulled muscles, ligaments and tendons. Patients with chronic pain and inflammation have also benefited. A soft edged blade is scraped across the affected area to help open tight muscles and improve your motion while reducing pain.

Kinesiotaping

We also use Kinesiotaping which is a therapeutic taping method that utilizes a latex-free elastic tape. Unlike athletic tape, which is stiff and is used to stabilize muscles or joints, kinesiology tape is stretchy—to serve as a gentle reminder to your body to hold your shoulder in a certain way or to keep a kneecap in line while biking or running.The main functions of kinesiology tape:
  1. To Correct Muscles. Kinesiology tape supports muscles during movement, and research has shown that it can provide a bit more stamina than the muscle alone. This is commonly seen in the knee, Back muscles, and shoulderblades.
  2. To improve circulation. Studies show that kinesiotape increases the flow of both blood and lymph, which can help in the treatment of lymphedema, mastectomy recovery, and swelling, to name a few.

  3. To improve joint movement. Kinesiotape can be used to keep a joint, such as the knee cap, gliding and tracking smoothly while in use.

  4. To help relieve pain. Kinesiotaping has an analgesic effect, The comforting stretch of the myofascial region gives a sensation of a constant caring touch.
