Fascial Artery Treatment

“After arthroscopic surgery, my knee pain was so bad I could feel the weather in my knee and walked with a constant limp. After one session with Isaac, the pain went away and I was able to walk without a limp. It saved me from having a knee replacement.”
– Richard C.

Fascial arterial treatment allows greater range of motion and restores function back to an area. If you are a candidate for fascial arterial work, benefits can include increased range of motion, strength and reduction of pain. We commonly see arterial strain in people who experience chronic back pain, knees and shoulders. A primary indicator that you may be right for this treatment is tightness or burning.

Fascial Lymphatic Treatment

“After sleeping on my left hip too much, I woke up with a tight achy and painful hip. I stretched, tried heat, ice and massage for six months with no improvement. After one session with Isaac, I woke up from my post treatment nap pain free!”
– Holly C.

Fascial lymphatic treatment allows normal blood flow to an area. Symptoms indicating that you may be right for this treatment are swelling, extreme pain from a massage, rapid weight gain, chronic sickness, and an inability to lose weight. Chronically tight traps and neck, as well as limited range of neck motion can also be indicators. Lymphatic dysfunction is commonly seen in hips that catch and become stiff. Swelling is one of the key problems in areas that do not heal; this system must be addressed before other treatments can be performed.

Fascial Visceral Treatment

“After experiencing sharp lower right abdominal/pelvic pain, I was rushed to the ER where both my appendix and ovaries were almost removed. Upon imaging, they found neither were the problem; I was released with pain meds that didn’t help. I came in for treatment with Beometry the next day, and the pain immediately resolved.”
– Raven W.

Visceral (organ) connective tissue manipulation is commonly seen in medication-resistant issues. When painkillers don’t help, imaging doesn’t reveal anything, and pain is sharp, we often find a need for visceral fascial treatment. Common symptoms including difficulty breathing or taking full breaths, as well as sharp pains in the mid-section or pelvis region. Though most people panic when they hear “organ,” dysfunctional organ connective tissue is no different than any other structure in the body, and is both easy to treat and rule out. If you snore, you may also benefit from this treatment. Snoring strains the connective tissue of the lungs and throat: treatment not only helps provide more air into the lungs at night to promote peaceful sleep, but may also help upper back complaints.

Strain/Counterstrain

This osteopathic manipulation is our most commonly used treatment. It allows us to look different kinds of connective tissue that send messages from your command center. While traditional massage seeks to relax a muscle, strain/counterstrain seeks to treat the source of the muscle tightness on a reflex level. A reflex is your body’s automatic response system over which you have no control (think about when you jerk your hand away from a hot stove). By treating the center of your reflex chain, your body receives powerful releases that you don’t get when working on muscle tissue alone or traditional massage. This is very specific, and involves an assessment before treatment.

Massage and Instrument-assisted Massage

Traditional massage has a place to increase blood flow to not only the muscle tissue but the ligaments and tendons that may not be receiving the blood flow to heal. Instrument assisted massage allows us to use a thinner tool than our fingers and hands to create a different chemical response and get oxygen in places that are too specific for us to affect by hand. Different forms of specific techniques may be used to separate muscles from each other that are stuck and causing pain or limited range of motion. The massage (intentional touch) work we do is very specific to restoring range of motion and reducing pain so we do not offer “relaxation” massage, only therapy treatment.

Muscle Testing

“While training for a 53-hour straight workout, I suddenly developed a heel pain where it hurt just to walk. The pain continued for 3 months and worsened. I tried massage therapy, insoles, different shoes—even laid off the running. Isaac treated me and, in one session, the pain went away and never returned. I was able to do my 53-hour workout pain free.”
– Jess E.

By identifying which muscles are strong and how your body reacts to different inputs, we are able to see how your mind and body operate together. We use muscle testing when there may be something off in the connection between your brain and muscles. Using different inputs, we can get immediate responses and signals from your body. Muscle testing allows us to make an assessment about your body’s patterns and is very useful with treating stubborn pain or problems caused by repeated motions. The brain’s software is the primary thing we assess with muscle testing. Because of cross-body rotation patterns, you may be a candidate for treatments involving muscle testing if pain has resulted from a repetitive activity.
