What is PUSH Therapy?
PUSH Therapy is a ground-breaking, innovative form of specialized muscle therapy. It was developed by Takatsuno Therapies specifically to relieve the pain that occurs with chronic muscle tension.
Chronic tension in muscles at rest is often the most significant factor involved in ongoing pain, dysfunction, and discomfort in adults. It can be eliminated with a comprehensive program of assessment, systematic treatment, self-care, core strengthening and muscle re-education.
Why should I get PUSH treatments?
If you suffer from muscle or joint pain or stiffness, PUSH Therapy can provide the solution. Many clients have obtained relief from the pain associated with arthritis, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, headache, low back pain, plantar fasciitis, repetitive strain injury, restless leg, sciatica, tendonitis, TMJ syndrome, whiplash, and other conditions.
If you are a sports enthusiast or weekend warrior, methodical PUSH treatments can prevent injury and help you sustain peak performance.
Anyone can experience improved quality of life because the PUSH Therapy System is so comprehensive. The program acts to enhance overall well-being by restoring balance and reducing biological age.
How soon will I get better?
One of the many advantages of the PUSH Therapy System is that a personalized treatment plan will be created for you. You will also be trained to accelerate your own healing, using easy, practical methods. After just a handful of sessions, you should experience significant change. Many clients are aware of some improvement after the very first treatment.
The system is designed so that you can easily assess your own improvement and decide whether you are making steady progress toward your goals
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatment sessions needed to achieve desired goals can vary greatly. PUSH Therapy is tailored to your individual needs and also depends on your participation. If your condition is severe or has developed over a long period of time, it will take longer to resolve.
What do you mean, I don't have to get undressed?
There's no need to take off your clothes. You receive PUSH Therapy while you are fully dressed. Since your muscles are treated through your clothing, we ask you to wear sports or workout attire. The only thing you will be asked to remove is your shoes.
What if I don't have a specific problem?
PUSH Therapy will help you avoid problems. With the PUSH Treatment Plan, you can actually decrease your biological age and enhance your well-being.
You will sleep more soundly and have more energy for everyday activities. You can avoid injury and improve your body mechanics. You can play harder and and improve your game.
We see many clients once a month or so on our mobility and maintenance program. Small issues can be quickly identified before they become larger ones. Mobility exercises can be refined and adjusted so that they are even more effective. The PUSH program is so comprehensive that it has something to offer almost anyone. It can empower you to change your life!
How does it work?
PUSH Therapy uses a unique approach to stimulate muscle tissue so that blood flow is increased. Pressure is systematically applied to related muscle groups. As blood flow increases, oxygen becomes more available to soft tissues and normal function can be restored.
But, it is much more than a set of manual techniques. The PUSH Treatment Plan adds training and self-treatment to accelerate progress. The complete program helps clients achieve long-term changes in structural anatomy and core strength. As a bonus, they learn how to maintain improved function on their own.
How long is a treatment?
Treatment sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes.
How often will I need to get treatment?
Depending on your specific needs, the first treatment sessions will be most effective if scheduled 4 to 7 days apart. If you are a serious athlete, or have acute pain, treatments can be applied more often. As your body responds, treatments can be scheduled with less frequency.
What problems can be helped with PUSH Therapy?
PUSH clients have reported increased function and relief from the pain of:
Athletic Injury, Auto Accident, Back Pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Exercise Pain, Frozen Shoulder, Headache, Knee Pain, Migraine, Plantar Fasciitis, Restless Leg Syndrome, Sciatica, Tendonitis, TMJ Syndrome, Whiplash, and more.
Are PUSH techniques similar to some used by physical therapists?
PUSH techniques release and lengthen tight, rigid, contracted muscle tissue so it can return to a relaxed and supple resting state. The overall objective is to relieve pain, increase range of motion, improve muscle tone and restore correct postural alignment.
The PUSH Therapy System is a comprehensive program that integrates a customized treatment plan, systematic muscle therapy work, client education, core strengthening, and mobility training.
Physical therapy, in general, focuses on building strength in specific areas and using ultrasound, stretching, and other equipment and techniques to loosen tissues.
How is PUSH Therapy different from massage therapy?
The PUSH experience, protocols, and results are quite different from massage. First, clients are treated while completely clothed.
PUSH Therapy is not just a set of techniques, but a comprehensive program. With a customized treatment plan, systematic muscle therapy work is integrated with client education, core strengthening, and mobility training.
The goal of PUSH Therapy is to permanently change the soft tissues of the body so that lasting improvements in structure, function, strength and performance are achieved.
What does "PUSH" stand for?
The letters of "PUSH" stand for power under soft hands. It is the trademarked logo of Takatsuno Therapies, Inc.
Where did PUSH Therapy come from?
Michael Takatsuno is the founder and Director of the PUSH Therapy Center in Mountain View, California. He developed this innovative and unique form of specialized muscle therapy after years of study and research. He had become frustrated with the limitations of traditional bodywork, its toll on his body, and the lack of lasting results. An extensive background in human anatomy, bodywork and Tai Chi Chu'uan provided the tools for him to discover the root cause of most soft tissue and join pain. He then formulated systematic techniques to address those problems.
Mr. Takatsuno observed the impressive, life-changing outcomes of his work and built a highly successful practice. A true healer, he became dedicated to sharing his discoveries with others. In order to achieve this goal, he developed an intensive training program, rigorous credentialing requirements, and a continuing education system that prepares therapists to practice this advanced form of bodywork.
The goal of PUSH Therapy is to permanently change the soft tissues of the body so that lasting improvements in structure, function, strength and performance are achieved.
