Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT) is a unique compilation of diagnostic and treatment techniques that assess and treat pain, injury, and dysfunction. IMT is non-invasive hands-on technique and can address the site of injury or pain as well as the entire body’s functions such as lymphatic, nervous, fascial, and circulatory systems in order to normalize the body’s own healing mechanism. Please visit www.centerimt.com/what-is-imt.asp to read an in-depth description of these ground-breaking techniques. |
Scenar therapy is revolutionary space age medical technology, which is approved by FDA and classified as a form of electrotherapy. Scenar technology stimulates the nervous system by applying a series of signals through the skin and then measuring the response, thus adjusting the pulses to their optimum levels. The biofeedback capability of the Scenar device communicates with the body via electric signals and teaches the body to heal itself by initiating a healing process on molecular and cellular levels.

Myofascia is the tissue that covers all muscles of the body, and Myofascial Release concentrates on removing adhesions that may restrict motion, muscle function and cause nerve pain and great discomfort. Adhesions are the body's normal protective mechanism, but are like internal scars that have become thickened, abnormal tissue that is now inflexible and thus limits motion. Adhesions can be caused by direct trauma, repetitive motion, wounds or surgical procedures, and because fascia is an uninterrupted network throughout the entire body, trauma in one location can cause restrictions throughout the body even in distant locations from the origin. Myofascial Release is the hands on technique that uses non-invasive, soft pressure to re-align the collagen fibers to return the normal flexibility of the fascia, thus enabling the normal function and strength of the muscles. |

Typically a full-body treatment session lasts from 1 to 2 hours. The spring time discount rate within 20 miles from Estacada is $65/session* (normally $75/hr) and a localized injury treatment is $30 per session for 1/2 hour. (I'm also in Tigard area a lot, so the same rate applies to any area within 20 miles.) Just call to find out where you are and what your horse's situation is. Currently I am not charging ranch call fees within a 25-mile radius, but this may change in the future due to ever-changing gasoline prices. * Rates are subject to change without notice. Click the MS Word icon to print and fill out a horse background information form at your convenience to hand it out during the first visit, or we can go over it and fill it when we meet. |
