Tandem Point^SM acupressure therapy seeks to reduce muscle pain, to reduce muscle-related joint pain and to improve joint mobility. This cutting-edge hands-on therapy integrates western trigger point and Chinese acupressure techniques with active and passive stretching. Tender or painful pressure points are held in tandem, to more quickly release tension and remove pain. Stretching through pressure points allows an even deeper release of painful holding patterns.

If Tandem Point therapy is effective for you, it will be obvious during your first visit. Progress is usually clear, dramatic, and measurable. A client who does not make clear, obvious progress in his or her first visit will not be scheduled for another appointment for the same problem.
