Naprapathy
“A Naprapath is a fascia specialist. As one of the few practitioners of this gentle therapeutic technique in the state of Massachusetts. My goal is to help as many people as possible return to a more pain-free and active lifestyle”
Naprapathy [nuh-prap-uh-thee] came about in the late 19th century, from the Czech word “napravit” meaning to correct or fix, and the Greek word “pathos” meaning suffering or pain. It has roots from both osteopathy and chiropractic, but its focus is on connective tissue (fascia).
The ultimate goal of a Naprapathic treatment is to restore “myofascial freedom” so that patients can return to a more pain-free and active lifestyle.
To help reduce pain and restore mobility Naprapathy uses:
No pharmaceutical medications
Gentle-hand manipulation of connective tissue (fascia) and adjoining structures (ligaments, joints, muscles)
Nutritional counseling
Other therapeutic modalities (including heat, cold, light, water, radiant energy, sound, air, and assistive devices to correct and alleviate pain)
