I use a mix of modalities depending on the needs of the client. For pain relief I primarily use Myokinesthetic System and Neuromuscular Therapy, Trigger Point work and Hesch Method combined with what I think of as slow listening touch. This has been very effective in eliminating or alleviating pain in most of my clients. I often do Myokinesthetic and massage together as they work well together and in those cases I charge by time rather than treatment as that is less expensive for the client.
Myokinesthetic sessions vary in length of time but are usually less than half an hour. They are done clothed with no oil so are easy to fit into a busy work day. They are designed to correct dysfunctional patterns in the nervous system which cause pain. It may take several sessions to correct the dysfunction but often results are achieved quickly and are long lasting.
I use mostly deep slow work to encourage tight muscles to let go and to allow the nervous system to shift into relaxation mode. Most of my massage work is a combination of pain relief and relaxation. I charge the same for both and use various modalities depending on what is needed.
