Push Therapy details


PUSH TREATMENT TECHNIQUES

The techniques involved during PUSH treatments are: palpation,
stationary pressure, integration, and Soft Pressure Stimulation.
Light palpation is used to locate anatomy markers, feel for
sensitivity and tonicity, and to help educate the client about
the area being treated. Stationary pressure is applied to certain
areas to help desensitize hypersensitive tissue and begin the
blood flow restoration process. Integration techniques help
the therapist locate and eliminate adhesions (immobile,
bundled tissue).

Soft Pressure Stimulation is a technique unique to PUSH therapy
and is applied with a relaxed, non-forceful pressure from the
therapist. SPS technique requires the therapist to be in a
relaxed state so that the tissue being treated can be engaged
and stimulated, allowing maximum blood flow to return to the
tissue. Unlike our SPS technique, hard or forceful pressure is
more painful and inhibits "engagement" which prevents proper
stimulation of tissue.

MORE ABOUT SOFT PRESSURE STIMULATION

PUSH utilizes a technique known as Soft Pressure Stimulation
 in the treatment of tissue. The SPS technique requires the
 therapist to be in a completely relaxed state during treatments.
The core of the body must be aligned properly and all movements
from the therapist must be generated from the core. Once the
therapist understands this alignment, any part of the body can
be used to properly engage tissue including the elbows and hands.
This softness is essential to the work as the therapist must engage
or connect to the tissue during treatments. This connection comes
 from the therapist maintaining a relaxed and grounded state at
all times.
Pressure is only applied to the most superficial layer of tissue that
needs the work. Once this layer is treated and restored, the tissue
 will regain its suppleness allowing the therapist to access the next
layer of tissue without applying additional pressure. This pattern is
repeated until all layers of dysfunctional tissue are restored and
 the tight, rigid tissue is replaced with supple and mobile tissue.
 Supple and mobile tissue will be free of pain and have a greater
range of motion.
By applying the treatment in this manner, the tissue responds
quickly and the therapist is practicing staying relaxed, mobile
and supple throughout the treatment. Hard forceful pressure
or pulling is never used in PUSH therapy. Thus, both patient
and therapist benefit from each treatment.

Push Therapy


PUSH therapy was not designed to be a technique to treat symptoms.
PUSH therapy is a comprehensive system that utilizes a customized treat-
ment program - the PUSH Treatment Plan - to insure that maximum,
long-term results are achieved with each patient.

The Plan involves PUSH therapy treatments, self-treatments, PUSH
Mobility Training and Core Strengthening exercises.
Tension Release Treatment techniques are used during
PUSH treatments to restore blood flow and oxygen to tissue that has
developed chronically tight or rigid patterns from repetitive use, overuse,
or muscle fatigue. Restoring blood flow and oxygen returns
the nutrients the tissue needs to become mobile and supple again,
which in turn relieves compression on joints and nerves.

Self-treatment techniques are taught to help reinforce the treatment
results as well as help prevent the symptoms from returning.
They empower the client to progress more rapidly in the treatment plan by
giving them tools to work with at home.
PUSH Mobility training locates the original source of tight, rigid patterns and
replaces them with strong and mobile patterns. PUSH Core Strengthening
reinforces these new patterns replacing negative muscle memory with new
positive muscle memory.
PUSH training offers a one of a kind discipline that can be used throughout your life to attain a lifetime of mobility.


Collectively, the PUSH Treatment Plan program works to eliminate the
pain and tension symptoms, but more importantly, works to eliminate
the original source of the dysfunction and helps create permanent
change.
