Why Choose Our Muscle Therapy Approach?
Unlike traditional therapy that focuses on isolated muscles, we take a comprehensive, functional approach that addresses:
Muscle & Fascia Balance
Restoring elasticity, mobility, and neuromuscular efficiency.
Injury Recovery & Prevention
Correcting imbalances that lead to repetitive strain and chronic pain.
Movement Optimization
Enhancing coordination, range of motion, and performance for daily life and sports.
Nervous System Function
Supporting the body’s ability to move freely without compensations.
By combining research-backed muscle therapy with movement analysis and chiropractic techniques, we accelerate recovery in half the time.
Our Muscle Therapy Techniques
At Mountain Movement Center, we tailor every treatment using a blend of advanced soft tissue and movement-based techniques:
The Day Method
Developed by Dr. Michael Day, this proprietary system blends chiropractic care, myofascial therapy, and movement rehabilitation to reprogram the muscles, joints, and nervous system. This method is gentle yet highly effective, making it an excellent option for patients who may feel apprehensive about traditional chiropractic adjustments while still needing targeted muscle therapy.
The Movement Exam
Every treatment begins with a comprehensive movement and postural assessment, where we analyze joint restrictions, muscle imbalances, and fascial tension. Using muscle mapping technology, we identify movement dysfunctions and create a clear, structured plan for recovery, ensuring every patient receives a customized approach to their healing process.
Myofascial Release Therapy
Fascia—the dense connective tissue surrounding muscles and tendons—can become stiff, restrictive, and painful over time. Myofascial release therapy targets these dense restrictions, restoring elasticity and improving overall mobility. This technique is highly effective for sciatica, rotator cuff injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, and chronic headaches, addressing the root cause of soft tissue dysfunction rather than just the symptoms.
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
IASTM is a specialized manual therapy technique using stainless steel tools to break up scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restrictions. By gently stroking the affected area, this technique releases deep-seated tension, enhances circulation, and promotes faster healing. It is a go-to treatment for elite athletes and is commonly used for tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and post-injury rehabilitation.
Percussion Therapy
Percussion therapy uses targeted vibration techniques to relax tight fascia, break down trigger points, and stimulate muscle recovery. This therapy is applied using a specialized percussive tool, offering deep yet comfortable relief for stiff muscles, postural imbalances, and overuse injuries.
Trigger Point Therapy
Muscle knots, also known as trigger points, develop from overuse, stress, and poor movement patterns. Our trigger point therapy focuses on identifying and releasing these chronic knots, helping to relieve deep-seated muscular tension and improve circulation. This therapy is particularly beneficial for patients dealing with migraines, tension headaches, shoulder pain, and repetitive strain injuries.
Corrective Exercise & Fascial Release
Corrective exercise plays a crucial role in retraining muscles, improving joint stability, and restoring neuromuscular coordination. By integrating strength and mobility exercises with hands-on fascial release, we help patients develop better movement mechanics to prevent future injuries. This technique is widely used for athletes, active individuals, and those recovering from chronic pain conditions, ensuring they regain strength, flexibility, and pain-free movement.

FAQs
At Mountain Movement Center, we understand that starting a new treatment approach can raise questions. Below are some of the most common questions we receive about muscle therapy and soft tissue care:
Insurance, Costs & Care Plans
Each case is unique. Recent injuries? You’ll likely see fast results. Chronic pain for years? It may take longer. If you’re not improving, we re-evaluate and adjust the plan or refer you to another specialist.
Yes! Most of our treatments are HSA/FSA eligible, allowing you to use pre-tax dollars for your care.
Absolutely not! Our goal is to fix the root issue and get you back to moving pain-free. We design treatment plans that typically last 4-12 visits over 4-6 weeks depending on the severity of your condition and how long you have had it.
We provide a free benefits check to help you understand your coverage. Many have some level of coverage. Some of our specialized treatments are not fully covered by insurance. That said, the cost of fixing your back is often less than a few takeout meals! And for the time spent with a doctor we are the most fair priced in Greenville.
Your first visit includes:
✔️ A detailed movement analysis
✔️ Neurological & soft tissue testing
✔️ Personalized treatment plan
✔️ Hands-on treatment (if applicable)
We focus on getting you relief and a clear path forward right away!
Nope! We are primary care physicians for muscle, joint, and nervous system issues, meaning you can book directly with us.
The cost of a chiropractic visit without insurance varies depending on location, provider expertise, and the type of treatment needed. At Mountain Movement Chiropractic & Natural Health, we structure our pricing to be affordable and transparent. An initial visit, which includes a full assessment, movement analysis, and personalized treatment plan, generally ranges from $100 to $200. Follow-up visits typically range between $50 and $100, depending on the complexity of care.
We also offer tiered choices of care, meaning patients can choose a level of service that fits their budget while still receiving high-quality treatment. If you’re curious about costs for your specific needs, you can reach out to us for a personalized quote.
Treatment Approach & Customization
We only recommend X-rays when absolutely necessary. If your case warrants imaging, we will refer you to a trusted local imaging center we have a relationship with.
No! We treat a wide range of conditions including:
✔️ Sports injuries (knee pain, tennis elbow, shoulder issues)
✔️ Headaches, TMJ dysfunction & dizziness
✔️ Posture imbalances & movement dysfunctions
✔️ Fascia-related pain & chronic tension
No problem! We offer multiple levels of care beyond traditional adjustments, including Neuro Reset Therapy, soft tissue techniques, laser therapy, and movement correction. You can request "no popping" and still get great results!
Nerve Pain with Cold Laser therapy
Yes! Many cases of dizziness stem from cervical spine dysfunction and inner ear imbalances. We offer:
✔️ Spinal and muscular rebalancing
✔️ Vestibular retraining exercises
✔️ Soft tissue techniques for neck tension relief
I’ve already had surgery. Can you still help me?
Absolutely. With our laser therapy and soft tissue training, we are often sought out after physical therapy to do a final phase of recovery and treatment. We also find that many can improve by keeping the areas around the surgery aligned.
Our team has extensive training beyond chiropractic care:
✔️ Doctor of Chiropractic (DC)
✔️ Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) - Two of our doctors
✔️ B.S. in Exercise Physiology - Founder
✔️ Advanced soft tissue & neurological movement reprogramming training
Yes! We collaborate with orthopedists, physical therapists, primary care doctors, and other specialists to ensure you get the best care possible.
Special Populations & Unique Cases
Yes! We help post-surgical patients regain movement, break up scar tissue restrictions, and restore proper function.
Yes! We help kids, parents, and grandparents with everything from postural issues to sports injuries and pregnancy discomfort.

✔️ Targeted rehab drills
✔️ Science-backed chiropractic care
Most patients feel a difference within a few visits!
Performance & Recovery Optimization
If stretching and massage haven’t helped, the problem is likely neurological, not just muscular. We focus on:

✔️ Strengthening weak areas to prevent recurrence
We also offer massage, laser therapy, and take-home recovery tools.
Yes! We analyze how your foot, ankle, and knee interact and use joint work, movement drills, and laser therapy to reduce pain and improve function.
Not necessarily! In most cases, we help you modify rather than eliminate movement so you can keep training while healing.
