Advanced Myofascial Therapy is a hands-on, structural integration–based approach that incorporates neuromuscular work, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue techniques.
This is a gentle approach to deep tissue work. Rather than forcing pressure, tissues are addressed layer by layer, preparing the body for deeper work that is more comfortable and effective than simply pressing harder.
