Most jobs today require prolonged time in front of a computer. During this time specific muscles are continually engaging becoming chronically tight, restricting blood flow, and causing a build up of lactic acid (a by product of muscle contraction) in this area. This leads to a condition called Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). The result is damage to muscles, tendons, and nerves of the neck, back, shoulders, forearms, and hands, which causes pain, weakness, numbness, and potentially leads to impairment of motor control. Without intervention, companies can see a decrease in employee productivity and increasing absentee and workman comp claims.
Muscle Therapy techniques such as Trigger Point, Muscle Release Technique (MRT), and Deep Tissue work will help break up adhesions, introduce fresh nutrient rich blood, influencing healing and helping to break muscle compensation patterns that contribute to chronic tight muscles and pain.
