What is Delos Therapy?
Repetitive motions of day-to-day life cause muscles to contract and tighten. Over time, these contractions become shorter and more dense. As this density increases, muscles and fascia become chronically contracted, forming knots and congested tissue, leading to dysfunction, disability and pain.
Muscle health is directly affected by the tightness in the muscles. Tremendous congestion and inflammation accumulate in the tissue from cellular metabolic waste, all due to ineffective circulation. As this stagnation progresses, the tissue suffers increasingly destructive pathological changes, in large part due to deposition and mineralization of collagen.
We approach pain, stiffness, and injuries by identifying the root cause of the problem to help alleviate symptoms and get you back to doing the things you love.
Having pliable muscle tissue will allow for:
• Increased range of motion
• Better skeletal alignment
• Maximized muscle recruitment
• Enhanced muscle activation
• Improved overall health
• Elimination of pain
• Reduced stiffness
• Increased range of motion
• Restored function
• Increased athletic performance
• Prevention of surgery
• Faster recovery after surgery
• Reduced treatment costs
• Reduced rehabilitation time

Physical Therapy: Conventional techniques of stretching and strengthening are most effective when muscles are pliable. Delos Therapy achieves pliability by micro-stretching muscles and fascia with systematic and precise pressure.
Chiropractic: Manipulating bones becomes more effective when surrounding muscles are pliable. Delos Therapy restores pliability, allowing skeletal alignment to hold.
Deep Tissue Massage and Foam Rolling: Deep tissue massage is a superficial technique that glides over muscle tightness in a single plane. It doesn’t address three-dimensional tightness or hold tissue in a stretched position long enough to be fully effective.
Conventional Stretching: Tight tissue does not stretch effectively, so during conventional stretching, only healthy and pliable fibers are pulled apart. As a result, pain and stiffness remain.
Trigger Point Therapy: Rather than targeting predetermined points on the body, Delos Therapy targets specific, three-dimensional patterns of muscle tightness and addresses all of the fibers, including the trigger points.
