Your Body is Trying
To Tell You Something…
THE VISION
____________________________
Your body knows what it needs. If you’re sore or have pain you just can’t get rid of, it’s there for a reason. Your body is probably telling you that it needs to stretch, but sometimes, stretching doesn’t work all by itself. Strategic pressure applied to special points hiding knots and sore spots, along with assisted stretching and vibration, are just some of the tools used in Deep Stretch Therapy to; elasticize and release deep soreness, restore balance to posture, and change pain based on tension patterns.
The popular way to handle pain is to just ignore it. But unfortunately, pain doesn’t just go away on it’s own every time. Once youth becomes unreliable, pain becomes everyone’s biggest obstacle in the way of a healthy, pain-free life. You don’t have to push through the pain anymore. ESOTONE’s deep stretch approach is designed to identify the root cause, help achieve long lasting results, and prevent future chronic pain.
Deep Stretch therapy
_________________________________________________________________
Your body remembers pain through patterns that are kept in your muscles and connective tissue. If left untreated, deep soreness and stored pain typically results in; more pain, low energy, headaches, less mobility, low back pain, knee pain, shin splints, nerve compression, piriformis syndrome, plantar fasciitis ect.
Deep Stretch Therapy targets strategic points throughout the entire body. Muscles that are stuck in an active state are convinced to relax, while other muscles that are stuck in an overly relaxed state are convinced to activate. The results:
Restore Balance and Proper Posture
Increase Circulation and Physical Sensation
Boost Muscle Recovery
Increased Mobility and Newfound Ability
Deep Stretch Therapy Techniques
Self Myofascial Release (SMR)
YOUR body is trying to tell YOU something. Therefore, sometimes you are your best therapist. That’s the purpose of Self Myofascial Release (SMR). SMR allows you to replicate ANY of the Deep Stretch Therapy methods! It just takes a ball and a roller! The trick is knowing the right positions and understanding what a release feels like.
Active and passive release Thechniques (ART)
One of the most popular modern physical manipulation techniques is Active Release Technique. The earliest works describing ART are surprisingly as recent as 1985. Its a soft tissue technique that utilizes pressure and friction, along with natural and assisted movement to target adhesions and ‘deep stretch’ myofascial meridians.
Petrissage
Petrissage is an ancient massage technique used for centuries. The root word, ‘Petrir’ is French and means, to knead’ (as in dough), or ‘to wedge’ (as in clay). Petrissage has existed since the earliest conception of massage. It is the unquestioned foundation for deep massage noted by its clear prevalence in Indian and Swedish Deep Tissue Massage.
vibration
Vibration is an extremely rare technique seldomly seen used in any industry without the use of an instrument. With unique control of certain muscles, some therapists have an ability to direct pinpoint, controlled vibrations through their forearm, into strategic areas. Kind of like that massage gun everyone got for Christmas, but it actually works!
Myofascial Release Technique (MFT)
Myofascial Release Technique is a foundational technique for any sports massage therapist. MFT aims to target adhesions and scar tissue based on assessment and range of motion. ‘Myo’ means ‘muscle’, and ‘fascia’ is a global network of connective tissues that glue all the body’s innerworkings and provide the body with integrity and function.
Chraniosacral holds
Chranial Sacral Therapy (CSP), or Chraniosacral Therapy, is designed to relieve pressure and tension between the head (cranium) and the tailbone (sacrum). Neck muscles can be notoriously difficult to release. Chraniosacral holds apply gentle traction to the cervical vertebrae opening access to deeply guarded trauma stored in neck muscles.
Trigger Point Therapy
The first ‘myofascial trigger point’ was coined somewhere between 1942 and 1960. A trigger point is essentially a tiny knot about the size of a pencil head, or smaller. Trigger Point Therapy targets individual trigger points with a steady application of pinpoint pressure. Too much will aggravate it, while the right pressure helps achieve lasting results.
Acupressure
The term ‘Acupressure’ comes from the root, ‘acus’ meaning ‘point’ or ‘needle’. It’s derived from the ancient Chinese art of ‘Acupuncture’. In Acupressure, to release muse tension, one hand holds steady pinpoint pressure on a specific meridian point, while the other hand is used to balance the flow of physiological energy.
proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)
PNF Stretching (​Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) is, in a nutshell, a way to ‘trick the brain’ into allowing a deeper stretch than previously thought possible without ‘overstretching’. The therapist involves natural joint manipulation along with ten seconds of antagonistic voluntary muscle contraction, releasing the targeted area.
