Try Myofascial Release to Stay Mobile This Winter

Dave Vollmers, an occupational therapist and owner of Specialized Therapy Services, specializes in the John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release approach treatment technique. This method, designed to soften and elongate soft tissue (fascia) of the body, can increase range of motion. This, in turn, promotes increased blood flow to the affected joint and stimulates the autoimmune response of the body, which aids in decreasing the pain associated with joint disorders. The technique can also help musculoskeletal issues such as back and neck pain, migraines, pelvic floor issues, and chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia and temporomandibular (TMJ) joint pain.

Vollmers also works in conjunction with chiropractors and has assisted patients in their goals to become more mobile and pain free. He has an Occupational Therapist degree from Concordia University and has worked in occupational therapy, specializing in workers’ compensation injuries, with a focus on orthopedic conditions. Specialized Therapy Services is a dedicated myofascial release clinic that accepts patients with insurance as well as payment at time of service.
