Foster Muscle Therapy: Northern Colorado's Premier Home of PUSH

"Due to low back pain, the only way I could complete 18 holes of golf was to take pain killers and other medication before playing. Now, after receiving PUSH Therapy from Maria, I am playing pain free. And I have taken 6 strokes off of my game!"

-- Jeff Boone

Is PUSH for You?

If you are looking to optimize your health, you might benefit from PUSH TherapySM.  Elimination of pain is one obvious reason to seek out a PUSH therapist.  But there are also other advantages to receiving treatment.

PUSH Therapy was originally developed to eliminate pain.

This means that dysfunction in soft tissue can manifest in many forms and take the shape of many different ailments.  However, an often-overlooked common cause or contributor to the problem of soft tissue dysfunction is Chronic Passive Tension.  Because PUSH Therapy targets this root cause, it has been successful in treating many different areas of the body and a variety of conditions.  Among them are:

  • Headaches
  • Sciatica
  • Tendonitis
  • TMJ Syndrome
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Bursitis
  • Shin splints
  • Muscle cramping
  • Restless Legs Syndrome
  • Piriformis syndrome
  • Migraines
  • Joint pain and stiffness
  • Repetitive Stress Injuries
  • Hip, neck and back pain
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Iliotibial band syndrome
  • Whiplash
  • Chronic stress tension  

PUSH Therapy has also been used as an adjunct therapy for people suffering from other chronic conditions, such as diabetes.

PUSH Treatments do not alter the diagnosis, but they do help maximize circulation by releasing contracted muscles and improving blood flow.  In the case of a diabetic, this improved blood flow to the extremities can help keep small injuries from becoming limb and life-threatening.

Health-minded people who are looking for ways to feel their best are drawn to PUSH.  One oft noted side benefit to receiving treatment is improved sleep patterns.  A body absent of Chronic Passive Tension will wake refreshed and rejuvenated rather than tired, stiff and sore.  When circulation while sleeping or resting is not impeded by overly tense, contracted tissue, the body truly has a chance to recover.  The result is feeling more refreshed, energetic and pain-free.

Age is not a deterrent to receiving PUSH treatments.  At Foster Muscle Therapy our clients have ranged in age from 11 to 89 years old.
