Choice Point Technique (CPT) is a uniquely devised Remedial Massage treatment consisting of the manipulation of the soft and deep tissues, ligaments, tendons and muscles. CPT aims to release soft tissue irregularities and to correct misalignment caused by high tension in tissue.
Choice Point Technique’s Sunshine Coast based clinic is proving to be a leader in pain relief treatment. The focus of our practice is fast relief from neck and back pain, frozen shoulder, sciatica, migraines and stress-related discomfort. Along with ligament and tendon manipulation, our Sunshine Coast massage therapy clinic provides qualified remedial, deep-tissue and sports massage.
No matter how long you’ve been experiencing physical discomfort from chronic pain, we can tailor a treatment plan to help manage your condition.
Choice Point Technique helps to mobilize peripheral and cutaneous nerves by using a variation of manual therapy techniques including ligament and tendon manipulation. As the nerves and their associated vascular structures run through tunnels, unloading these areas assists with the feeding of blood and oxygen to the nerve via their regional vessels.
In most cases this will give relief immediately to ailments such as:
– Sciatica
– Ankle Sprains
– Back and Neck Pain
– Nerve Pain
– Frozen Shoulder
– Shin Splints
– Carpal Tunnel
– Migraines
Nociceptors are sensory receptors and can be found on the outside walls of nerves. They send information to the spinal cord relating to danger (noxious stimuli) such as tissue damage, etc.
From there the information continues to brain stem and ultimately the cerebral cortex, where perception of pain is generated.
Veins and arteries are connected to nerves, throughout every inch of their 72km by thin regional vessels. They are then encased in a dense connective tissue container (or tunnel). As the vascular system maybe pulled in slightly different directions than the nerve it supplies, the connector vessels can become lengthened and/or narrowed and/or kinked because of strain. If a nerve does not receive adequate blood supply because of mechanical tension affecting the regional vessels feeding it, or it becomes backed up and compressed, affecting the regional vessels that drain it, its own nociceptive innervation may activate and lead to pain being felt in that area.
