May's Myofascial Massage Special!
Jo recently attended an amazing two-day training focused specifically on treatment of the wrist, arm, and shoulder girdle. While she is continuing to deepen her skill in these techniques, we’re offering a month-long special:
Receive $15 off a 60 or 90-minute myofascial treatment through the month of May!*
Myofascial technique is a form of therapeutic massage that focuses on the fascia, the web of connective tissue that surrounds muscles and groups of muscles, as well as blood vessels, organs, and nerves. Often, restrictions, adhesions, or hardening will occur within fascia or between fascial sheets, which contributes to pain, tightness, and loss of range of motion. Using knowledge of anatomy, the specific physiology of fascia itself, and an awareness of the interconnected nature of the body’s fascial network, these techniques incorporate slow release, passive and active movement, and often client consciousness to address specific areas of complaint.
These specific techniques are indicated for
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
- Frozen Shoulder
- Chronic wrist, arm, or shoulder pain or tightness
- Experiences of numbness, tingling, or altered sensation in the hand
- Limited mobility or sensations of ‘weakness’ in the shoulder girdle
Other issues that can benefit from release along the arm line include neck pain, chronic headaches, breathing difficulties, or postural issues (especially chronically forward-rounded or elevated shoulders). Anyone who spends a lot of time at the computer, driving, or using their hands can benefit from this work, which means its effective for pretty much everyone!

What is Torque Release Technique?
Torque Release Technique (TRT) is a chiropractic technique that focuses on the “tuning pegs” of your spine. As the tuning pegs are adjusted, tension from the central nervous system is released . The goal is to remove interferences in the nervous system so that you can express your full potential.
To illustrate, imagine a guitarist. As she begins to play a guitar, she notices a note out of tune. She then focuses her attention to adjusting the tuning pegs to tune her guitar. She tunes and plays until she finds the right note. Now imagine your spinal cord as a guitar string. It is a thick string of electricity-conducting jelly, and the frequency at which it is functioning is determined by the amount of tension placed on either end of the spinal cord. The amount of tension on the cord determines the tune that your body will play. There are tuning pegs located at both ends of your spine: at the top are your cranium and neck and at the bottom are your sacrum and coccyx (the tailbone).
This model realigns the two types of information that travel the spine: The first type is a fast-acting message which consists of a flash of electricity that carries information up and down the spine to respond to immediate life situations. The second type consists of a “low-grade” frequency, which determines the “mood” or the overall “tone” of your central nervous system. This correlates with your consciousness, awareness and mood.
After Torque Release adjustments, people have reported feeling lighter and looser, having clearer vision, experiencing emotional releases, and having a general sense of well-being. In essence, TRT tunes your nervous system so that it can release and reduce tension, thereby allowing your body to self-correct and play the song it was meant to play.
