Myofascial Cupping is similar to Myofascial Release Therapy in that it targets the fascia and connective tissue, but the methodology is quite different. In Myofascial Cupping the fascia is lifted and separated by means of a vacuum created inside a sterile cup applied to the skin over the area the therapist is targeting, rather than by direct manipulation of the fascia by the therapist’s hands. The cups can be left in one position or ‘glided’ over the skin, depending on the severity, type and location of the problem the therapist is treating. Unlike the form of cupping that you may associate with traditional Chinese medicine, Myofascial Cupping does not leave red marks or bruising on the skin of the majority of patients. Additionally, it does not aim to treat illnesses or disorders of the internal organs, but focuses solely on the musculoskeletal system using similar principles to the various forms of massage therapy.

Deep Tissue Massage is similar to Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure helps with releasing chronic muscle tension by using slow, deep strokes and friction. The focus is on the deeper layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).

Sports Massage is used to maintain or restore the athlete to optimal condition and aids in injury prevention and the recovery and rehabilitation process. The overall goal of Sports Massage is to enhance athletic performance. It is this goal that makes Sports Massage different from other massage modalities. Athletes tend to repetitively use one muscle group more than others. This may result in hypertrophy, changes in strength and movement patterns, connective tissue formation, and compensation patterns in the rest of the body. These factors contribute to the muscle dysfunctions that often develop in athletes. Whether you’re an amateur or a professional athlete or play sport on a casual or full-time basis, Sports Massage will assist with your overall health and well-being and improve your performance.

Trigger Point Release Therapy is a form of massage in which direct, sustained pressure is applied to a hyper-irritated area in muscle to bring about reduction in tension and pain relief. These trigger points can develop for a number of reasons and often cause pain and refer to other areas of the body. Therapists at Envision are skilled in identifying and releasing the trigger point responsible for the pain, even if the trigger point is in a different location from the referred pain.

Myofascial Release Therapy is a form of massage that focuses on the fascia and other connective tissues. The fascia is a thin, elastic connective tissue that wraps around most of the structures in the body, and when it tightens it can constrict the muscles, reduce range of movement and cause pain. Myofascial Release Therapy employs sustained pressure to lengthen and loosen the tight fascia.
