WELCOME TO YOUR PAINFREE JOURNEY
At Painfreelivingalexis, I believe in finding the root cause of chronic pain and providing personalized physical therapy treatments to help you achieve a pain-free life.
My experience as therapist is dedicated to guiding you towards a holistic approach to managing and overcoming chronic pain, so you can enjoy life to the fullest.
Key cornerstones of the therapy
01
Osteopressure
Liebscher & Bracht uses a manual therapeutic technique called “osteopressure” to press signal pain receptors in the periosteum — the fasciae-containing membrane surrounding the bones.
By doing this, the brain programmes responsible for the pain are reset, and the muscular-fascial tensions normalised. As a result, the traction between the vertebral bodies and the joint surfaces is reduced as well.
The receptors pick up this information and relay it to the brain, which in turn stops sending pain signals.
The success of this method demonstrates that pain results from the too-high muscular-fascial tensions the brain registers. Said tensions are the consequence of little to no physical exercise and minimal as well as one-sided movement patterns.
02
Fascia Stretches
Stopping the pain is just one step towards a life without pain. It is vital to treat the cause of the pain to ensure that it does not come back. Otherwise, the muscular-fascial tension builds up again, and the pain returns.
To help change the one-sided movement patterns introduced by our modern living environment, Liebscher & Bracht developed special exercises to make sure that muscular-fascial shortenings can be effectively treated.
To alleviate your pain permanently, it is necessary to perform the fascia stretches consistently alongside the osteopressure and beyond it.
03
Intense Foam Rolling
Using specially designed foam rollers, we massage our body and thus the muscles and fasciae underneath. Doing so unravels the many fascial threads, allowing the tissue to become flexible again.
Our foam rolling method is supposed to relax the tissue and prepare it for the fascia stretching exercises. We pursue two goals with it. On the one hand, we want to move the interstitial fluid to ensure that waste material can be transported out of the fasciae tissue and fresh fluids into it. On the other hand, we aim at encouraging the fibroblasts, that are weaving new fasciae 24 hours a day, to recycle matted fasciae threads. This way, we accomplish the removal of tangled fascial tissue— the central issue of shortened and inflexible fasciae. A welcome side effect of foam rolling is the relaxation of tense muscles.
