What We Do

Muscle Modality desires to help you achieve optimal body alignment, performance, and recovery via two systematic methods used worldwide:

NST

Neurostructural Technique is a well-developed soft tissue approach that is designed to stimulate the nervous system through manual muscle work, which encourages optimal bilateral alignment within the body. When all the systems can fire correctly, they can perform at their best. NST spinal integration hits the reset button and allows a window of opportunity for the body to heal and recover. People often described this as the missing link between chiropractic and massage. Because it works with your Nervous and Muscular systems which then control your skeletal structure. Hitting all 3 parts of the human movement system instead of just 1.

 Be Activated

Be Activated enhances performance and recovery as well as helps manage everyday stress by locating patterns that aren’t functioning correctly in the body. Activating them influences the muscles and soft tissues, normalizing the electric flow in the neural system to the right places. This allows the body to fire and rebalance the systems that encourage correct sequencing and support. As the body’s capacity to perform increases, the risk of injury decreases.


How Does It Help

Soft tissues control your bones and interact with almost every single bodily system.

When your body is aligned, the true healing process can start to take place. Muscle Modality has a mission to serve you by giving the correct inputs to the injury or compensating tissues and systems.

We strive to achieve these goals for you:

1—Experience full restoration 

2—Mitigate pain or offer relief

3—Gain insight to pivot you toward the right path of healing


Athlete/Performer

When you are active, your body is under constant stress tearing and rebuilding fibers. Soft tissues get damaged, stressed, and compensate when your body is out of alignment. This can cause an imbalance, exacerbating any problems and bringing them to the surface. You need everything aligned so you can fire your muscles to push your limits.

 Business/Traveler

Sitting and sleeping on cars and planes, we tend to spend a lot of time waiting in uncomfortable angles, which can result in neck or hip pain. Working in the office all day can cause various aches and pains after sitting for extended hours. After your body knows how to hold its tensegrity, this will make travel and normal life more enjoyable when you are balanced.

Family Member/Child

Life is full of high and low moments. When the body holds stress, that stress compounds over time, resulting in injury, wear and tear on the body, and taxes multiple systems, which could trigger anxiety attacks or past traumatic events.

Children also benefit from NST; their bodies respond more quickly than adults. Keeping their skeletal and soft tissue structure aligned is conducive to optimal growth.

    Dana R.

  • “When I first started to have
    Sam work with me, I had lots of aches & pains in my shoulders & arms. After a few sessions, I noticed those started to dissipate and I felt better. I like the fact that the adjustments are much more gentle then seeing a regular chiropractor.”

    Lee W.

  • “I recently hurt my back so badly that I had to have my daughter come to my car and help me get out of the car and into our house. I was in terrible pain. My daughter called Sam O’Brien, and he was able to work on me the next day. I was sure I would need multiple sessions. Sam talked to me as he worked on me and kept asking me about my pain levels; I started at an 8, and when he left, I was at a 2! The next day, I was pain-free and have been ever since! Sam’s gentle care was restorative! I was absolutely amazed! I highly recommend him! He is such a blessing!”
