Performance Bodywork
Performance Bodywork
Performance Bodywork is a results-driven, hands-on therapy designed to reduce pain, resolve soft tissue dysfunction, and enhance athletic performance. This work blends Active Release Technique (ART), Rolfing-style myofascial release, and lymphatic drainage therapy to target fascial and muscular restrictions created by training, repetitive motion, posture patterns, and daily stress. By working directly with the fascia, muscles, and neuro-myofascial pathways, this method helps restore proper motion, improve biomechanical efficiency, and support faster recovery.
Performance Bodywork is especially effective for repetitive-stress injuries such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, shoulder or hip restrictions, and other sports-related injury patterns. Whether you are an athlete or someone who wants to move better and feel stronger, Performance Bodywork provides deep, corrective manual therapy tailored to the body’s natural movement patterns and healing capacity.
During Bodywork, the therapist locates myofascial areas that feel stiff and fixed instead of elastic and movable under manual pressure. These areas, though not always near what feels like the source of pain, are thought to restrict muscle and joint movements, which contributes to widespread muscle pain.
The focused manual pressure and stretching used in myofascial release therapy loosen up restricted movement, leading indirectly to reduced pain.
