Rhythmically rubbing, pushing and stretching muscles with oil is a wonderfully calming way to ease local pain and stiffness by soothing your nervous system. 

Joint articulation moves joints in a smooth and rhythmic way, to stimulate the joint surfaces which produce your body's own natural joint fluid. This eases local pain and stiffness making your joints feel light and free.

When joints are articulated they can be put into tension, joint manipulation is performed by pulsing through this tension to create a release in the joint relieving local pain and stiffness.

Needles are a fascinating method of reducing local pain and tension by stimulating muscles to the point of relaxation and flushing blood into the area.

By stretching a tight muscle gently and relaxing into it, you create a release in the muscle to ease local tension. This reduces pain perception and stiffness.

By learning how to keep yourself in balance when you're standing, sitting, or moving, your body conserves energy far better so your muscles can be effective for longer before feeling stiff, painful and tired. Using Qigong and neuroscience we get you moving without local pain or stiffness.

Understanding pain creates more awareness of what is going on in your body. With more awareness there is more control and with more control there is a reduction in pain perception which can also reduce tension and stiffness.

Breathing exercises or "breathwork" changes pain perception by calming down your nervous system, releasing tension and easing stiffness

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that helps to reduce pain perception by breaking the habits of associating certain movements or environments with pain.
