Massage
Some therapists believe that every tight muscle should be forced into submission. They believe that the therapist knows more about how your body should behave than you do. At the Affolter Clinic, pllc we believe that tight muscles can be good. Tight muscles can guard an area and prevent further injury. Tight muscles can also help stabilize a joint which has been injured and help it heal in alignment. Therefore, we are less likely to use heavy massage to force your muscles to relax. Instead we use a system of light pressure which calls your attention to a problem. Your inner wisdom, Innate Intelligence, Reiki or whatever you choose to call it, can then decide whether or not to relax the muscle. Many people find these light pressures to be extremely beneficial. It is all about working with you instead of for you or against you.
