Services & Techniques
Every session is built from the assessment, not from a menu. The techniques below are the tools used to get you there, selected, combined and adjusted based on what your body is actually doing. You don't need to choose one. That's the therapist's job.
Sustained, slow pressure applied to the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Used where tissue has become dense or restricted from chronic load rather than acute injury. It should feel firm and specific, not painful, pressure that makes you brace is pressure that isn't working.
Slow, sustained tension applied to the fascia, the connective tissue that wraps and links muscle. Used when restriction runs across a region rather than sitting in one muscle, often why the site of pain and the source of the problem aren't the same place. The pace is deliberately unhurried; fascia responds to time, not force.
Direct, held pressure on a specific hyperirritable point within a taut band of muscle. These points often refer pain elsewhere, a point in the shoulder producing a headache, one in the hip producing what feels like sciatica. Locating and releasing them addresses the referral rather than chasing the symptom.
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation: you contract a muscle against resistance, then relax as it's lengthened. Working with the nervous system's own reflexes produces more range than passive stretching alone, and the gain holds better. Used where restriction is neurological rather than structural.
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, controlled pressure applied with a contoured tool rather than by hand. The instrument detects and treats textural change in tissue more precisely than fingers can. Typically used over scar tissue, old injuries and chronic tendon complaints.
Gentle, graded movement designed to restore a nerve's ability to glide through the tissue surrounding it. When a nerve is tethered rather than compressed, symptoms are often tingling, burning or numbness rather than ache. The technique is deliberately low-force; nerves respond badly to aggression.
Suction applied to the skin to decompress the tissue beneath, either held or moved along the muscle. Where most manual work pushes in, cupping lifts, useful where tissue layers have lost the ability to slide over one another.
The therapist moves the limb through range while you stay relaxed. Because you're not producing the movement, protective guarding doesn't engage and the tissue can lengthen further than it will under your own effort. Often used at the end of a session to consolidate what the treatment opened up.
Slow, controlled movement applied to a joint within its normal range to restore accessory motion. This is not manipulation, no thrust, no cracking. Used when a joint has lost the small gliding movements that make a full range possible, which often shows up as a stiff shoulder or hip that stretching alone hasn't fixed.
Techniques aren't priced separately. You book by session length and location; what's used within the session comes out of the assessment.
| Session | Length | We come to you |
|---|---|---|
| VITA Assessment, first visit only, at a reduced rate | 75 min | $140 |
| Therapeutic Session | 60 min | $175 |
| Extended Therapeutic Session | 90 min | $225 |
| Sports & Recovery Session | 60 min | $175 |
| Pack | We come to you | Per session |
|---|---|---|
| 6 × 60 min | $900 | $150 |
| 6 × 90 min | $1150 | $192 |
A Care Pack saves up to $200 against booking the same six sessions individually. Most recurring complaints need more than one visit, and the pack exists so that cost isn't the reason a plan stops halfway.
Prices include New Jersey sales tax.
