MECHANO-THERAPY

How It's Different

It goes far beyond traditional stretching, Propioceptive Neural Facilitation (PNF), or standard bodywork.

It is manual muscle manipulation that combines the time-tested principles of 19th-century mechano-therapy—the employment of mechanical means for tissue healing—with range of motion tests from Clinical Kinesiology, treatment protocols from Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT®), and the application of Exercise Mechanics (RTS®).

What to Expect

You will be fully clothed on a treatment table. We will assess your joint ranges to figure out if there are any disparities on either side of your body. We will then attempt to reduce those disparities by figuring out the root cause of your dysfunction then stabilizing your structure by activating underperforming muscles through precise palpations, manual isometric and isokinetic training.

After the initial assessment, Private Lessons may start with Mechano-Therapy for a period of time depending on your condition before moving on to more integrated training lessons. We use the techniques throughout your training journey throughout your lessons. Even if you have had years of experience with us, you may have lessons later on in your journey that could be exclusively Mechano-Therapy lessons.

However, we also offer shorter maintenance sessions that focus on sequential activation protocols focused on one or two areas of your body within those sessions.

Who Mechano-Therapy Is For?

  • People with chronic tightness that won't release

  • Athletes with recurring injuries or compensation patterns

  • Desk workers with postural dysfunction

  • Anyone who's "tried everything" without lasting results

  • Post-rehab patients looking to restore optimal function

The History of Mechano-Therapy

Originally defined in 1890 as "the employment of mechanical means for the cure of disease," it was one of the core elements of physical medicine and medico-gymnastics by the end of the 19th century.

Modern mechano-therapy is being revived in current medical literature as "therapeutic interventions that reduce and reverse injury to damaged tissues or promote homeostasis by mechanical means at the molecular, cellular, or tissue level."

We combine this proven approach with our derived treatment techniques to create a systematic protocol that addresses neuromuscular dysfunction at its source.
