TC’s massage is based on traditional Swedish and petrissage techniques, incorporated with fascial release and joint mobilization. Creating physical balance is the main concept in TC’s massage treatment. Releasing the tight soft tissue and rehabilitating the weak muscles allows a person’s skeletal frame to reach its natural alignment.
TC also respects a patent’s pain tolerance and carefully performs massage using comfortable pressure and a moderate speed. This allows patients to experience massage filled with a peaceful balance of mental relaxation while obtaining the full therapeutic physical effect.
