Body Optimization

Massage therapy is typically focused on relaxation and general muscle tension relief. While it can feel great, soft tissue techniques used in physical therapy (like IASTM and joint mobilizations) are goal-oriented and clinical—designed to correct movement dysfunction, break down scar tissue, and directly support rehab and performance outcomes.

IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) uses specialized tools to apply pressure to the muscles and fascia. This helps break up adhesions (knots or scar tissue), increase circulation, and stimulate the healing process. It’s especially helpful for chronic pain, tendinopathy, and limited mobility.

Cupping is generally safe and well-tolerated, though it may leave temporary red or purple marks (not bruises). The suction lifts the skin and underlying tissue, improving blood flow and easing deep muscle tension. Most people find it relaxing and beneficial for recovery.

Corrective exercise is customized movement training that fixes muscular imbalances, poor posture, and faulty movement patterns. If you’ve ever had recurring injuries or feel “off” when you move, these exercises help restore balance, build strength, and keep your body moving efficiently long-term.
