Muscle Scraping

Muscle scraping promotes better blood flow and nutrient uptake, which may support faster healing and healthy formation of scar tissue. Muscle scraping can remove bothersome or painful muscle adhesions. Muscle scraping has been shown to improve range of motion.

 

Hot Stones

Reflexology

Kinesiotaping

Fabric consists of cotton, nylon and uses no drugs. Adhesive is a hypo-allergenic acrylic based adhesive and contains no latex. When applied over a stretched muscle, RockTape lifts the skin, accelerating blood flow to increase the amount of oxygen available to the muscles, which reduces fatigue. RockTape also promotes lymph drainage. These combined effects are powerful: they allow the athlete to go harder for longer periods of time. Unlike compressions garments, RockTape can be applied to very specific areas of the body that are sometimes hard to reach, such as shoulders, knees, and joints. Only Terry and Olivia in our North Syracuse Clinic are Providers who are able to perform this treatment.
