DEEP MUSCLE THERAPY

 

 

What is it?

Deep muscle therapy was created by a Canadian, Therese Pfrimmer, in the 1940’s. It is a highly refined system of corrective treatment designed to aid in the restoration of damaged muscles and soft tissue in the entire body. Deep muscle therapy consists of an extremely detailed, total body cross-fiber treatment which brings about corrective changes in the muscle on a cellular level.

 

 

How does it work?

Tight, adherent muscles are the cause of many ailments due to their involvement in restricting the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid. Deep muscle therapy clears these obstructions by using a specific series of well designed movements on all layers of muscle. This helps to restore the circulation with its natural healing properties to the cellular level. Deep muscle therapy is designed to cause corrective changes to the damaged or adherent muscles and the adjacent soft tissues. The improved circulation that results causes changes on the cellular level, not only to the muscle involved, but also to any soft tissue that may have been affected by the impaired circulation.

 

 

What are its benefits?

Deep muscle therapy works for the correction and prevention of serious muscle conditions such as ALS, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinson's, Cerebral Palsy, brain injury and stroke. It is also effective in alleviating sports injuries, trauma, occupational stresses, arthritis, fibrositis, backache, neck tension, chronic fatigue syndrome, constipation and circulatory problems. When used in conjunction with traditional treatments of these conditions, it offers an added edge that speeds recovery times. Deep muscle therapy can be considered to be the foundation for corrective massage upon which other complementary traditional methods of treatment may be added for a fast and effective cure.
