We Help Fussy Babies Become Happy & Healthy Without Needing Surgery or Medicine. 

Myofascial Release is a hands on therapeutic treatment approach that consists of a triad of components for complete healing of your whole body. This triad of healing consists of Structural Work, Unwinding and Rebounding.

Structural: With the structural work, the therapist utilizes a combination of manual therapy techniques to reduce restrictions within the body. Restrictions within the fascial system can be as a result of trauma; both physical and emotional, inflammation, overuse, surgery and or postural misalignment.

Gentle sustained pressure is applied at the areas of restriction within the fascial system by the therapist. This gentle, sustained tension between the therapist’s hands and the patient’s body is held for upwards of 5 minutes or more and is what allows the fascia to release in a slow, non-linear manner throughout
the entire 3-dimensional fascial system.

Patients may feel physical sensations as the tissue restrictions release and lengthen. Typical physical
sensations include: heat, tingling, pulsation, vibration, and ‘melting’ (similar to the sensation of taffy stretching). It's also common to feel other sensations in seemingly unrelated areas of the body and emotion. Emotional expression is normal and highly therapeutic during an MFR session.  Most patients report reduced pain and anxiety paired with an increased sense of well-being.

Unwinding: Some patients experience was is termed Unwinding. Essentially, unwinding is that component of the triad that accesses stored trauma. Persistent pain and/or structural dysfunction may be perpetuated by “bracing or holding patterns” in the body. Your body wants to heal and be healthy! When the body is ready, your body may begin to spontaneously/involuntarily move as the tissue system eases and releases stored trauma, thereby releasing the bracing or holding pattern.  Unwinding is extremely therapeutic and healing.

Rebounding: Rebounding employs the fluid/energy system of the body to dynamically reduce restrictions throughout the body helping to free the body of its bracing patterns.
MFR does not simply treat your symptoms, but treats the whole body! Often where symptoms are felt, is not the actual source of the difficulty. Because this 3-dimentional system is continuous head-to-toe, it directly impacts and influences every system and motion center of the body. By treating the restrictions within the fascial system, the actual source of dis-ease is addressed.

Therapy at Turning Point Therapy is centered on YOU! It is just the therapist and you!

Our approach is holistic and client centered so that each session is unique and based upon what your body needs and your goals. Unlike most PT clinics, a client at Turning Point Therapy will spend the entire session one on one with the physical therapist.

Your therapist will discuss your goals, assess your body and determine what is needed to achieve your desired outcome. The cornerstone of our treatments is fascial release. By utilizing the alchemy of the fascial system through hands on body work combined with energy work, the integrity of the fascial system can be restored. Turning Point Therapy uses a combination of Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, soft tissue mobilization, energy work, and other manual therapies. Treatment will help you feel relaxed and grounded. Treatments can alleviate pressure on pain sensitive tissues such as blood vessels, nerves and muscles which can help to reduce pain, restore flexibility/mobility, restore alignment and return you to a vibrant, healthy lifestyle!

At your first MFR session, your therapist will spend a bit of time getting to know you, finding out your goals and expectations, and answering any questions you may have about MFR. The therapist will also assess your posture, mobility and tissue texture as a starting place for treatment. Treatment sessions are individual and geared to your body’s needs.

Sessions may end with a brief discussion about the session, home program instruction involving gentle self-treatment exercises /self-care activities to maximize your results, review, Q&A.
