Deep Tissue Work
This term describes a large variety of hands-on methods which focus on the
deeper tissues of the body. Examples of deep tissue work include Rolfing, connective tissue
massage, and deep friction massage. This work is often done around a joint and on the
ligaments and tendons which lie below the muscle level.Jin Shin Do (see Chinese Medicine)

Myofascial Release
A hands-on technique used to work the connective tissue or fascia around a
muscle. This can be helpful if a person is experiencing muscular or joint
pain.Oriental Body Therapies
Refers to techniques and training in various Chinese
Massage therapies.Reflexology
Reflexology involves stroking or applying pressure to one part of the body
in order to effect changes in another part of the body. This method
emphasizes free-flowing vital force, or Chi. It is usually applied to the
feet.Swedish Massage
Massage techniques based on a circular pattern of stroking and kneading,
often a more gentle form of massage, depending upon the practitioner's
style.Thai Massage (see Chinese Medicine)
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are points on muscles, ligaments and tendons that, when
touched, are extremely painful and, because of that pain, often cause
referred pain to another part of the body. The Nimmo Receptor-Tonus
Chiropractic Technique uses digital pressure to remove "nerve interference"
at trigger points. This develops a response (reflex) from the body which
causes the blood vessels to open up and enlarge. Built-up toxins then have a
chance to escape into the blood stream.
