Structural Energetic Therapy

Structural energetic therapy (SET) uses a variety of types of massage therapy to address muscular pain and dysfunction. If you're looking for chronic pain relief this therapy is right for you.

SET was created by massage therapist Don McCann in 1983. McCann now teaches other therapists to practice SET.

Structural energetic therapy uses a combination of deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and kinesiology to address chronic pain issues. Therapists trained in SET are highly skilled. They analyze your posture to determine which muscles are short and tight or misaligned. They also have you fill out a thorough intake forms.

This therapy can be used to treat:

• chronic pain
• back pain
• neck pain
• TMJ
• headaches
• arthritis
• fibromyalgia
• tendonitis
• plantar fasciitis
• sciatica

The therapy usually starts with cranial releases. These releases help start the movement of the body towards balance. Then the therapist will do some myofascial releases--first superficial ones and then deeper ones. Then the therapy will move into deep tissue techniques. Most people notice a difference after the first session.
