MassoKinesitherapy
Developed in France, along side Osteopathy, Massokinesitherapy is the Euro equivalent of North American Myofascial Release. Newer trends combined with Rolphing techniques, and Myofascial Release, have developed and pushed this type of therapy to the forefront.
It has been touted as the "Deepest" type of tissue release. Used mainly for freeing up scar tissue, post surgery adhesions that cause chronic pain.
These techniques have evolved to provide help with all types of chronic pain in the lower back, spine, pelvis, legs, ankles, feet, cervical & TMJ, elbows, wrists and hands. All areas of ligamentous immobility which causes pain can easily improve within 1-2 sessions.
When you have tried every therapy with no results, this may be the answer to your chronic back, hip, knee pain and headaches.
​
Ida Rolf, pictured below, developped these techniques through her development of "Structural Integration" (or Rolfing) is a type of manual therapy that aims to improve human biomechanical functioning as a whole rather than to treat particular symptoms. Rolf began developing her system in the 1940s. Her main goal was to organize the human bodily structure in relation to gravity.
