the sub-layer of musculature and fascia. These techniques requires more advance
training and a more thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. The muscles
must relaxed in order to effectively perform deep tissue massage, otherwise tight
surface muscles prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper muscularity. It helps
with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation, and reduces inflammation-related
pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis. Generally integrated with other massage
techniques.
Fees: 60 minutes-$80

Master therapist Robert Petteway developed the Myopractic system after 30 years
in the healing arts. His experience in structural integration, biomechanics,
acupuncture, Oriental medicine and a wide variety of muscle therapist contribute to
the system. He worked with physicians, surgeons and chiropractors for more than 20
years to develope this therapeutic mode.
Myopractic muscle therapy combines three basic techniques: compression stretching,
which achieves deep relaxation, relieves tension, spasm and holding patterns; clearing
methods, which use the myopractic covered thumb and framing techniques to clean
obstructions from the soft tissue(e.g., trigger points, scar tissue, muscle bundles
and old bruise); and separating techniques to release myofascial adhesions, separate
fascial planes and re balance muscles.
Myopractic integrates its own unique style of energetic work, Swedish, sports,
trigger point, myofascial and even structural integration techniques into one
easy-to-learn system. Myopractic teachces user-friendly, pain-free therapy for
both client and practitioner. This is accomplished using the therapist's body weight
and leverage, rather than relying on size and strength.
Myopractic posture balancing evaluation indentifies the source of chronic pain
misalignment in the body's structure and realigns them. Myopractic treatments focus
especially on misalignments in the lower body, particularly in the feet, ankles and the
hips. Addressing lower-body misalignments often relieves tension injuries in the upper
body. Myopractic espouses a therapist can clear their clients only to the degree they
themselves are clear. Therefore the seminars focus on clearing the therapist, as
well as learning new techniques.
