Licensed Massage Therapists (LMT) utilize various techniques to manipulate clients' soft tissues and joints, aiming to address injuries and enhance overall well-being. During sessions, they employ their hands, fingers, forearms, elbows, and feet as tools. Additionally, massage therapists may incorporate lotions and oils, and they may conduct sessions on massage tables or chairs, depending on the client's needs.
A Board Certified Structural Integration Practitioner (BCSI Practitioner) is certified by the Certification Board for Structural Integration℠ (CBSI). CBSI upholds ethical and professional standards for Structural Integration (SI) practitioners through competency examinations and ongoing education. This certification distinguishes practitioners as Board Certified Structural Integrators (BCSI) within the professional community and to the public.
Structural Integration Practitioner (SI) utilizes a systematic approach to enhance structural alignment and promote fluid movement. This method involves structured sessions of manual therapy targeting the fascial matrix, alongside guided movement and education on embodiment.
Structura Myokinetic Therapist (SMT) emphasizes the balance of muscle and fascial systems in the body to enhance range of motion, posture, and promote a lifestyle free from pain.
Functional Movement Therapist (FMT) employs unique modalities and tools to enhance Structural Myokinetic Therapy for more enduring outcomes, fostering superior stabilization within the myofascial system.
-Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM) is a manual therapy technique that effectively engages with connective tissues and the associated nerve roots, aiming to alleviate pain, encourage tissue glide, regulate nervous tissue, and enhance fluid retention.
-Kinesiology Tape is a specialized sports tape that offers support while permitting full range of motion. It is utilized to diminish pain, relieve tissue pressure through decompression, and provide a novel stimulus that heightens body awareness.
-Cupping, an ancient form of alternative medicine, involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. It is employed for various purposes, including pain relief, inflammation reduction, improved blood flow, relaxation, and overall well-being, serving as a form of deep-tissue massage.
-Compression Therapy, a manual technique, has demonstrated efficacy in enhancing range of motion, optimizing fluid dynamics, mitigating pain, and expediting recovery rates.

Mobility Therapist (MT) undergoes specialized training to assist clients with their self-care requirements. They utilize a variety of self-care tools to aid clients in normalizing and balancing joint mechanics, addressing sliding-surface dysfunction within myofascial compartments (muscles and connective tissues), and improving neuromuscular dynamics that may restrict mobility (the range of motion of the body).
