Say Good-Bye To “One Size Fits All” Therapy
Mexía Bodywork offers the most advanced bodyworking techniques to rejuvenate your health from head to toe. We craft personalized plans with layers of therapeutic relief to cover every last one of your pain points. Your blended therapy treatment plan could include one or all of the following options below.
Treatments
Myofascial Release (MFR)
Myofascial Release focuses on the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs. Restrictions in the fascia can impact muscle function, leading to pain, stiffness, and even numbness. By applying sustained pressure and stretching techniques, Myofascial Release helps to release these restrictions, improve flexibility, and reduce pressure on nerves, restoring natural movement and balance in the body.
Sports Massage
Maximize performance, accelerate recovery, and prevent injuries with a tailored sports massage designed to keep your body at its best. This treatment blends deep tissue work, stretching, and targeted muscle techniques to enhance circulation, reduce muscle tension, and improve mobility. Whether you're a professional athlete or someone with an active lifestyle, this therapy helps you stay strong, flexible, and performing at your peak.
Therapeutic Massage
A customized massage for ultimate physical relaxation using a blended mixture of firm pressure, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and fascia stretch therapy, reestablishing harmony in both body and mind.
Cupping Therapy (a.k.a. Myofascial Decompression)
When a muscle is held in a chronically shortened position, the surrounding fascia can become thicker and denser as it adapts to increased tension. Cupping therapy, or Myofascial Decompression (MFD), targets these dense areas by applying cups and incorporating movement to create a shearing effect. This stimulates fibroblast cells to produce new collagen fibers, repairing damaged tissue and restoring elasticity and recoil.
Additionally, cupping triggers fasciacytes to produce hyaluronan, a substance that lubricates the fascial tissues, improving their glide and slide. This dynamic process enhances mobility, reduces pain, and accelerates recovery.
Muscle Scraping (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization – IASTM)
This technique works by increasing blood flow and circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, which are essential for recovery. Muscle scraping also stimulates collagen production by encouraging fibroblast activity and the alignment of new collagen fibers, helping to heal injured tissue and restore flexibility.
In addition to promoting tissue healing, muscle scraping provides pain relief by disrupting the pain signals sent to the brain. The compression from the tool alters the messages that an injury sends to the brain, reducing pain perception and allowing you to move, stretch, and strengthen with less discomfort. This creates an ideal environment for faster recovery and improved mobility.
Fascia Stretch Therapy™
Fascia Stretch Therapy™ (FST) is a unique approach to assisted stretching that focuses on the connective tissue, “fascia”, rather than just isolated individual muscles. Fascia is our connective tissue system that penetrates through and wraps around everything in our body: muscles, organs, and nerves. The techniques used in FST stretches your “nets” of fascia along with your muscles.
FST Sessions are personalized and pain-free to improve quality of life, promote faster recovery from fitness & athletic activities, and reduce pain caused by lack of mobility & flexibility.
You wouldn’t drive around in a car that desperately needed maintenance, so why drive your own body without it?
Your body is the most valuable machine you’ll ever invest in. It’s responsible for keeping you going each and everyday for the rest of your life. But the vast majority of people (maybe even you!) go through life feeling like your body’s check engine light is on, but you just keep grinding away as if nothing is wrong.
Maybe you’ve got mysterious aches and pains, an overwhelming sense of exhaustion or past injuries that NEVER seem to heal... And it’s clear you need something deeper than an ordinary trip to the massage therapist to see the results and the relief you want and deserve.
