"FOCUS" Pain Treatment- Let's talk about Fascia Release
Pain is your first indication that something needs to be addressed!!! Knots/ adhesions, trigger points, pinched nerves, and decrease in ROM can cause numbness and tingling or muscle debilitation. This treatment is 100% customized to provide the best possible outcome in your treatment time.
Fascia is a thin membrane or sheet of tissue which surrounds, covers and connects all tissues and organs of the body- muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, and internal organs- everything. It is like a netting of tightly woven connective-tissue which ‘holds everything together’ and allows independent movement between tissue layers. It is not highly elastic like muscle tissue.
Fascia becomes tight and restrictive due to poor posture, scoliosis, trauma, repetitive strain, chronic inflammation and surgical scars. Once an area of fascia becomes tight and short with adhesion formation the restrictions spread to other areas of the body creating further mechanical imbalances. Fascial restrictions range form microscopic adhesions at the cellular level to macroscopic adhesions forming overt scar tissue. In all cases there is movement restriction at the tissue level which can be detected with skilled palpation.
Skilled Palpation Demanded
These restrictions are often very subtle, they can be difficult to detect, and therefore demand a highly developed sense of touch to locate and interpret them. Equally subtle are some of the manual treatment techniques which stretch and release these adhesions. Again, a high level of manual skill is required to detect and treat fascial restrictions. The manual techniques are quite unlike those used for treating muscles and joints; rather, the adhesion-releasing techniques are performed very slowly and gently over relatively long periods of time. The results, though, are usually immediately apparent and often dramatic. Significant changes in both pain levels and improvements in mobility are often immediate and long-lasting.
NOTE: Working through fascia restrictions must be done with patience to find the root of the issue. My technique is adjusted differently to each client, therefore the pressure is adjusted allowing a deep therapeutic touch. This is the recommended treatment for any discomfort or Pain.
What to expect during your visit:
- Assessment (PHOTOS)
- ROM assessment
- Identify possible issue
- Discuss Options for treatment
Discomfort is normal during the treatment, however, these tips will help you out.
- Consume at least 4 -16 oz bottles of cold (WATER). Speeds up your metabolism, increases circulation and helps warm up your core. After your treatment, please continue consuming water and flushing toxins that will have been released during the session.
- Do NOT avoid normal activity because of soreness, be cautious. Return to normal activity when you are experiencing a daily decrease in soreness.
Maintaining proper hydration helps decrease risks of injuries, keeps your skin moisturized, minimizes pain, and increases the desire to be more active or maintain your already active body. Restoral in ROM, adding movement in joints and bones, and additionally commitment to proper muscle conditioning and strengthening can completely heal an injury. Compare the cost of an injury in Dollars. Now, compare the worth of a 15-30 min muscle conditioning before any work or activities, it will increase your quality of life. Change takes consistency, and commitment. Time invested into oneself is crucial to a successful wellness and self-care journey. Work on your inner you!
Muscle Hydration with proper diet and exercise is important for the health of muscles, flexibility, performance, and prevention of injury.
-----Magnesium is a key factor in neuromuscular transmission, the communication between motor neurons and muscle fibers, and muscle relaxation.
Feeling better after one treatment will not heal your issues! However, please listen to your body and err on the side of caution. Ask questions and seek care if you are unsure at any time. I provide a $20 consultation. I will always provide the best advice I can within the scope of my profession and if I do not have the answers, I will get them!

Due to the nature of deep work, communication during the session is crucial to make ensure all your kneads are met. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment. Discomfort is normal during the treatment; plenty of water should be ingested for flushing toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
NOTE: Working through each layer of muscle must be done with patience to address the root of the issue. My technique is adjusted differently to each client, allowing a deep therapeutic experience that will motivate you to enjoy caring for yourself. This is the recommended treatment massage for any short or long-term issues.
Starting with your first treatment using three steps: I-identify, T-reat, R-resolve
Thai Massage/ Bodywork Treatment
Thai massage (Movement education) is more energizing and rigorous than most other forms of massage therapy. It's also called Thai Yoga massage, because I use my hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like postures and stretches. My clients say Thai massage is like doing yoga without doing any of the work. No oil is applied, so you are fully dressed during the session. A single Thai massage session will help you release stress and relieve pain, and help you function more effectively.
Perfect before chiropractic treatment.
Thai Bodywork- Bodywork is a form of massage and energy work. It uses conscious touch, stretches, range of motion, and other techniques, done more gently, to affect the whole energy and nervous system to relieve pain and restore balance. Great for improved movement, energy boosts, and circulation
Unlike a Swedish massage, oil isn't used and your muscles typically aren't kneaded. Instead, the practitioner will use their hands, thumbs, elbows, and knees to stretch, pull, and rock different parts of your body. They may even sit on you to stretch you into certain positions.
Benefits of Bodywork:
Increases circulation throughout the body with gentle elongating force on muscles & connective tissues along with improving lymphatic drainage through manual techniques so you shouldn't feel any discomfort during treatment session!
"RESTORE" Sports Treatment
Sports Massage at Intuitive Kneads is designed for highly active people who engage in athletics or high activity lifestyles. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetics awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
What to Expect:
- Assessment (ROM)
- Increase Circulation (Vibration Plate)
- Stretching (problem areas are priority)
- Massage
"EASE" CranioSacral Treatment
Ease your mind with Craniosacral therapy (CST). A gentle hands-on treatment that may provide relief from a variety of symptoms including headaches, neck pain and side effects of cancer treatment among many others.

"Fluid" Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.
