a specialized muscle therapy
If you want to reclaim a more youthful feel in your body, mitigate the wear and tear of athletic competition, overcome a nagging injury or truly eliminate a troublesome chronic pain issue, such as sciatica, PUSH TherapySM may be for you. If you wake up stiff, sore or tired in the morning, struggle with chronic shoulder and neck tension that never truly goes away or have been told that you have to accept creaky, stiff joints as you age, PUSH Therapy may be for you. If you are seeking an alternative to certain surgical procedures, hope to continue enjoying your hobbies and activities rather than be forced to give them up due to physical discomfort, or are interested in creating a powerful body that has the potential to grow stronger rather than weaker with age, PUSH Therapy may be for you.
This unique and innovative therapy has made a difference in people’s lives, from the elite athlete to the office worker, from the accident victim to the chronic pain patient. Foster Muscle Therapy, among the earliest providers of PUSH in the country and the first to offer this specialized therapy in northern Colorado, goes beyond “pain management” and strives for achieving pain elimination. Foster Muscle Therapy has been treating clients since 2004.
If you’re searching for a better alternative to pain management, consider PUSHsm Muscle Therapy.
PUSH is a manual therapy designed to treat soft tissue dysfunction and it offers a new form of treatment for muscle pain. Because the PUSH Treatment Plansm is focused on removing, and then preventing the reappearance of Chronic Passive Tension in muscles, tendons and ligaments, it is often successful. The presence of Chronic Passive Tension in soft tissue is an often overlooked and unacknowledged source of pain and dysfunction in the body. Muscles should be supple and relaxed when not being called upon to work. If the soft tissue has become chronically shortened, contracting even when at rest, the result can be pain, impaired function, stiffness and/or a reduced sense of well-being. By eliminating Chronic Passive Tension, overall wellness is improved.
Because dysfunction in soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments) has an impact on the skeletal and nervous systems as well, PUSH therapy can be appropriate for conditions that at first may not seem to be muscle related. These ailments can include problems such as osteoarthritis, sciatica, pinched nerves and joint pain.
Who can benefit from PUSH Therapy?
Athletes and fitness enthusiasts place demands on their bodies with vigorous training sessions and competitions. The repetitive motions involved in many sports can contribute to Chronic Passive Tension build-up in muscle and other soft tissues. By targeting Chronic Passive Tension, PUSH Therapy can help keep these individuals pain-free and performing at their best. Foster Muscle Therapy has successfully treated athletes looking for treatment for muscle pain.
Many people looking to eliminate either acute pain or chronic pain, such as sciatica, for example, can see results from PUSH Therapy. The pain and dysfunction of Repetitive Stress Injuries can often be a result of Chronic Passive Tension that has accumulated in response to poor body mechanics and overuse. Injuries that may not have responded to other types of treatment often show improvement with PUSH Therapy because of its unique focus. For those suffering from chronic pain, the goal is not pain management, but pain elimination. Foster Muscle Therapy has been helping people in Greeley and the surrounding northern Colorado area achieve this goal since 2004.
People seeking relief from certain sleep disorders have benefited from PUSH Therapy. Pain, Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), Periodic Limb Movement (PLM) and night-time muscle cramping can all disrupt sleep and lead to a lowered quality of life and reduced personal health. PUSH Therapy has been effective in treating these ailments and in helping people enjoy truly restorative sleep.
Health-minded people who wish to look and feel their best can improve the quality of their sleep and help restore their bodies to a more youthful state.
More than just a technique, PUSH Therapy is a complete system designed to achieve long-term structural changes in the body.
Every client receives an individual assessment and evaluation within the framework of the PUSH Treatment PlanSM. In addition to treatment for muscle pain, every client is educated and trained in self-treatment methods to speed the process of recovery, and is given instruction in PUSH Mobility TrainingSM and PUSH Core StrengtheningSM to help prevent the return of symptoms and replace old, rigid muscle memory patterns with more supple, sustainable patterns. Assessment is ongoing and treatment sessions are personalized to meet the needs of the client. Clients remain fully clothed for all aspects of their treatment.
