It's gentle and it works

Robert primarily uses three modes of therapy:  Applied Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, and Ortho-Bionomy.

Applied Trigger Point Therapy:  finding the true source of pain.  Yes, Sherlock Holmes is alive and well when searching for where the pain is really coming from.  A trigger point in the shoulder could be making your wrist hurt.  A headache could actually be coming from a muscle in the front of the neck.  "Trouble Shooter" is Robert's middle name, and quickly discovering the source of the pain is the game. 

Myofascial Release:  letting go of the restrictions that make it hard to move.  If you have ever cooked a chicken, you've seen that clearish, gooey stuff that surrounds the bones and muscles.  This is connective tissue, also called  'fascia' or 'myofascia'. And it's intelligent stuff: when there is a fall or an operation the connective tissue becomes glue-like as a protective mechanism. It can bind muscles and bones, and even activate trigger points.   Myofascial Release techniques allow the connective tissue to release and go from gluey to just gooey.  You literally become 'unglued'.

Ortho-Bionomy:  a little known but very gentle and effective form of Positional Release discovered in the early 1900's by an Osteopath, Dr. Lawrence Jones.  Dr. Jones discovered that by holding the body in a comfortable position, the body releases itself.  This form of massage makes 'no pain, no gain' obsolete.  People are willing to endure pain during a massage if they think it will work.  But most people would prefer to feel good during the session as long as there are results.  With Ortho-Bionomy there is comfort both during and after the massage with long-lasting results.
