Myofascial Therapy Treatments
Darla’s Myofascial therapy is based on Structural Integration, a hands-on therapeutic approach aimed at improving posture alignment, and retraining movement. I work with the body’s FASCIA— the connective tissue that envelops muscles. Unlike conventional massage, this therapy employs a structured method aimed to relieve chronic structural tension over several sessions. Furthermore, Darla integrates various modalities including neuromuscular and trigger point therapy, focusing on the root problem areas and causes of the issues in your tissues.
Structural Integration
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy massage nurtures both body and mind through every stage of motherhood, from pregnancy to postpartum recovery. It helps relieve muscle tension, ease discomfort, and encourage deep relaxation. This gentle therapy also provides mothers with a calming, restorative experience that fosters balance and well-being.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy is a focused massage technique that targets specific muscle knots to help ease tension and improve mobility. By applying precise pressure to these areas, it supports better muscle function, posture, and overall physical comfort.
