Adhesion Release Method
A method focusing on Treating Scar Tissue, Muscle Adhesions and Chronic Pain
If you've been dealing with regular muscle tightness, restricted movement or pain that just doesn't seem to improve. Many people are told they have "tight muscles," but in reality the problem can often be tissue adhesions within the muscles and connective tissue restricting nerve freedom.
I have been specialising in Adhesion Release Method (ARM) as part of my in home remedial massage treatments. This specialised technique is designed to identify and reduce adhesions that may be limiting movement and contributing to pain.
How Does Adhesion Release Massage Work?
In the video example here. During this treatment I feel and move tissue around nerve pathways innovating the ITB muscle to assess how different parts move and identify areas where tissue mobility has been affected. Using specialised manual techniques, controlled pressure is applied across the direction of the restricted tissue. The aim is to encourage the tissue layers to move more freely again allowing the nerve to be free again. Unlike a regular massage, adhesion release is very specific. Treatment focuses on the exact structures causing restriction along nerves. To be effective at the method I have needed be able to feel and find nerve locations and their pathways.
Nerve adhesions
Does this sound like you?
Often I have clients come to me saying they have had long term hip pain. They're tried everything, they have been told to try glute medius strengthening but it just seems to be not working or even switching on.
I hear this all the time. Interestingly It can often be nerve adhesion causing the issue with the muscle being able to contract correctly. That's where adhesion release comes in. Basically pulling off the connective tissue restoring function throughout the nerve. Sounds wild but its a technique of myofascial release that I've been doing for the last 10 plus years.
Here is an image of a gluteal superior nerve with connective tissue wrapped around it. There's pictures online of the real thing but they look to nasty to show here so this works just fine.
Using dolphin neurostim to find adhesions
Here in this video I showcase how I can use the dolphin neurostim to find tissue adhesions along the median nerve pathway so I can restore feeling and reduce the numbness my client has been dealing with for the past 6 months.
I can find them usually by hand and palpation but I wanted to show what this great tool can do.
It simply works by finding low resistance points in connective tissue. Which luckily for us is exactly how tissue adhesions in the body work.
