Therapeutic Techniques and Modalities
Sessions at Pain Free Performance in Sedona, Arizona, use a combination of gentle, research-informed manual techniques designed to reduce pain and improve movement with precision and intention.
Manual Therapy
A hands-on approach that restores natural motion in joints and soft tissues, easing restrictions and discomfort.
Myofascial Release Therapy
Works directly with the fascia, the connective tissue network, to relieve deeply held patterns of tension, guarding, or imbalance.
Cranio-Sacral Therapy
A light-touch approach that helps calm the nervous system and reduce pain patterns associated with stress, migraines, TMJ dysfunction, and tension.
Lymph Drainage
Supports fluid movement, tissue repair, swelling reduction, and overall healing.
Spinal Adjustments
Gentle, precise adjustments intended to realign the spine, improve mobility, and reduce nerve irritation or compensatory strain.
Sports Rehabilitation
A focused approach for athletes and active individuals looking to recover from injury, address movement limitations, or improve performance. This specialized work helps restore optimal biomechanics, balance, coordination, and range of motion, supporting both pain relief and the return to sport or activity safely and confidently.
Beyond Pain Relief: Improve How You Move
Pain shows up for a reason. The goal isn’t just to reduce symptoms, but to understand why they appeared and prevent them from returning.
Sessions may also include:
Posture and Movement Assessment
A simple evaluation of how your body moves during everyday tasks and physical activity.
Corrective Exercise
Light, targeted exercises to reinforce structural balance and support pain-free mobility.
Exercise Progression
Gradual progressions to build long-term stability, strength, and functional movement without overloading the body.
