Neck Pain

Are You Struggling With Sleep, Finding It Challenging To Lift Weights, Reach Overhead Cabinets, Check Your Blind Spot While Driving, Or Carry Out Your Daily Tasks Due To Persistent Neck Pain?

Does This Resonate With You?

You may have anticipated the discomfort would fade after a short while, but it has persisted.
You've attempted various remedies at home, such as using heating pads, applying ice, and using TENS devices, but they didn't provide relief, correct?
You've even had a few massages, only for the discomfort to return a few days later.
You sought help from a healthcare professional, who examined you, administered an injection, or prescribed medication, but the relief was short-lived.
You previously went through massage therapy, but it didn't yield the desired results.
You've come to the conclusion that you can manage reasonably well as long as you steer clear of activities that worsen the situation, is that right?

Typical Neck Conditions We Address:

Common Causes:

Hindered Mechanics: Weakness and muscle imbalances lead to a restricted range of motion, while joint rigidity and muscle inflexibility compromise posture.

Sudden stress or impact on the tissue results in injury.

Persistent compensatory strategies involve avoiding certain muscle groups’ activity and overusing other tissues due to prior injuries or the fear of future ones.

Approach At Healing Myofascial Release:

Ensure proper neck and thoracic (midback) alignment.

Alleviate tension in the upper neck muscles.

Enhance flexibility in the chest and neck musculature.

Employ manipulation, manual joint mobilization, and manual traction to enhance joint mobility.

Strengthen the muscles responsible for neck flexion and shoulder blade movement.

Utilize techniques like massage, instrument-assisted mobilization, and cupping to improve tissue mobility.

Implement targeted nerve exercises to alleviate nerve sensitivity (manifesting as numbness, tingling, and arm pain).

Key Points to Keep in Mind:

Tissues have a natural capacity for recovery. The body has the ability to heal itself, but at times, it may get stuck in the inflammatory phase of tissue repair and may need assistance to progress toward full recovery.

MRI and x-ray results often do not reliably indicate the actual source of pain. They might show tissue damage even in the absence of pain or functional limitations. Conversely, pain may be present without significant findings on imaging, often due to heightened sensitivity in the nervous tissues.

Post-exercise soreness doesn’t always signal a problem. Achieving genuine strength gains requires subjecting the system to an overload that leads to minor damage. This damaged tissue then regenerates, becoming stronger and thicker than before. The soreness can serve as an indicator of whether the tissue is prepared to handle increased stress. If it’s not yet ready, training intensity should be scaled back until it is.

With proper guidance, correct mechanics, and gradual tissue conditioning, it’s nearly always possible to resume previous or desired activities.

What People Say About Healing Myofascial Release

I was introduced to Katie at church after my car accident. The services offered were nothing like I had seen before. I came in with a concussion and the Myofascial Release resolved symptoms quickly. The mental fog from the concussion cleared faster than the doctors expected and the Myofascial Release is the only thing I wanted and needed while recovering.

As a practitioner myself for almost 20 years and dealing with chronic pain from repetitive movement and an autoimmune condition, I can say that Katie is hands down one of the best practitioners I've come across. She is intuitive, skilled, knowledgeable, and very professional. She can release years worth of fascial restrictions in just a few treatments.

Our experience with Katie and Healing MFR was incredible! She was gentle, thorough and explained everything to us in such a professional way. She is incredibly intelligent and kind and knew exactly where to put her hands to do the work! Can’t wait to see how much better my little feels after her appt!
