We are delighted to welcome Athen Petrie to the Nemetona Therapist Family from October.
When you book a massage session with Athen, you're not just getting traditional deep tissue massage techniques! When deemed necessary, he also incorporates a variety of stretches during your session that can take your experience to the next level.
Here are some incredible methods Athen practices:
PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation): PNF stretching involves a unique combination of stretching and muscle contraction to improve flexibility and range of motion. By targeting specific muscle groups, we can unlock tightness and help your body move with more freedom.
Soft Tissue Release: This technique focuses on releasing tension in the soft tissues of your body, including muscles, fascia, and tendons. By applying precise pressure and movement, we can effectively relieve muscle knots and promote deep relaxation.
Assisted Stretches: Here, Athen will gently guide your body through a series of movements to stretch and lengthen your muscles. These stretches can help alleviate muscle imbalances, improve posture, and boost overall flexibility.
Trigger Point Therapy: A trigger point is a taut band of skeletal muscle inside a muscle group. Trigger points are tender to the touch and can refer pain to distant parts of the body. You may have regional, persistent pain resulting in a decreased range of motion in the affected muscles. Trigger point therapy is a soft-tissue treatment that helps release tense, painful knots in your muscles and fascia (web of connective tissue). Components of trigger point therapy may include sustained pressure, posture and movement correction, and massage.
