Targeted Massage
Targeted Massage and traditional massage sound very similar but are two very different forms of care. Traditional massage is typically for people who have some pain but it has not reached a level which can alter a person’s life, it can bring temporary relief and is also usually done for relaxation and comfort. Targeted Massage was developed for people who have chronic or debilitating pain and has a heavy focus in the repair and reorganization of injured muscles which aids in alleviating muscle spasms and reducing tightness.

Kinesio Taping
Kinesio taping is the process of applying tape directly to the skin in order to maintain a stable position of bones and muscles during athletic activity. It is a procedure that uses tape, attached to the skin, to physically keep in place muscles or bones at a certain position. This reduces pain and aids recovery. Taping is usually used to help recover from overuse and other injuries.
The general goals of kinesio taping are to restrict the motion of an injured joint, compress soft tissues to reduce swelling, support anatomical structures involved in the injury, serve as a splint or secure a splint, secure dressing or bandages, protect the injured joint from re-injury, and protect the injured part while the injured part is in the healing process.
