The Root of Motion

The Root of Motion specializes in Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT), a unique approach to bodywork that focuses on improving the connection between the brain and muscles. MAT sessions involve movement analysis, stretching, and targeted muscle activation to identify and correct weaknesses. This method aims to address the root cause of issues like pain, tightness, and poor body mechanics, leading to increased range of motion, stability, and strength. Many clients report significant benefits from MAT, including relief from chronic pain and improved overall function. The owner, Rachael, is known for her friendly and professional approach, often opting for 90-minute appointments to ensure better results, despite the physical effort involved. The Root of Motion also offers connective healing massage to support the body's natural healing processes. Clients have shared that treatments with Rachael are beneficial, especially for persistent issues that haven't responded to traditional therapies like massage, acupuncture, chiropractic care, or physical therapy. One client mentioned that after starting MAT, they haven't experienced calf pulls during runs or workouts, highlighting the effectiveness of the technique. Overall, The Root of Motion is a place where individuals of all ages, including children, can find helpful therapy. The combination of MAT and massage work provides a comprehensive approach aimed at improving movement, reducing pain, and promoting healing.
