SPECIALIZED BODY WORK



WHAT IS NAPRAPATIC MEDICINE?
Naprapathic Medicine is a hands-on, holistic approach to treating pain, dysfunction, and movement limitations caused by imbalances in the body’s soft tissues—muscles, fascia, ligaments, and tendons. By addressing these structures directly, Naprapathy helps restore proper movement patterns, improve posture, and enhance overall function.
GOALS OF NAPRAPATIC TREATMENT
The main focus of a Naprapathic session is to:
• Relieve pain and tension caused by soft tissue restrictions
• Restore healthy posture and alignment
• Improve flexibility, mobility, and range of motion
• Enhance circulation and tissue recovery
• Support long-term musculoskeletal health and performance
COMMON MODALITIES USED
Naprapathic treatments often integrate multiple techniques tailored to each patient’s needs, including:
• Soft Tissue Therapy – Hands-on techniques to reduce tightness and improve muscle function
• Postural Correction – Addressing imbalances and faulty movement patterns that contribute to pain and injury
• Scraping (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) – Tools used to release adhesions and stimulate healing
• Cupping Therapy – Negative pressure techniques to relieve tension, promote circulation, and speed recovery
• Stretching & Mobility Work – Targeted methods to restore flexibility and prevent injuries
• Corrective Exercise – Customized movements to reinforce treatment and maintain long-term results
BENEFITS

Is Naprapathic / Specialized Body Work Safe for Everyone?
Is Naprapathic / Specialized Body Work Safe for Everyone?
In most cases, yes! Naprapathic care and specialized body work are generally safe and well-tolerated for a wide range of people and fitness levels. The techniques are gentle and adaptable, focusing on restoring healthy movement, reducing tension, and supporting long-term musculoskeletal health.
However, every body is unique. Because sessions involve hands-on work with muscles, joints, and connective tissue, there are certain situations where modifications or medical clearance may be recommended. For example:
Recent surgeries or untreated injuries
Severe osteoporosis or bone fragility
Uncontrolled medical conditions (like infections, blood clots, or certain cardiovascular issues)
Pregnancy (sessions can often be safely adapted, but always check with your doctor)
At Brickz, your safety is our priority. Each session begins with a thorough intake to understand your health history and current needs. We’ll always tailor the techniques to you, and we encourage open communication during your session.
Can I request specific areas to be worked on?
Absolutely! Let your Doctor know about any areas of concern, tension, or pain you'd like to focus on or avoid during the session.
How often should I get a specialized body work?
Frequency depends on your goals and lifestyle. For general maintenance, once or twice a month is common. If you’re addressing chronic pain or recovering from an injury, more frequent sessions may be beneficial.
What should I wear?
What Should You Wear for a Naprapathic / Specialized Body Work Session?
Comfort is key! You’ll want to wear clothing that allows you to move freely and gives your practitioner access to the areas being worked on without making you feel exposed.
Recommended:
Light, stretchy, or athletic wear such as leggings, joggers, or loose shorts
A comfortable T-shirt, tank top, or sports bra
Avoid bulky fabrics or stiff jeans that restrict movement
Minimal jewelry or accessories to keep the area clear
Depending on your session goals, your practitioner may need to work directly on the skin or over clothing. If skin contact is needed (for example, with certain manual therapy techniques), modest draping will always be used for your privacy and comfort.
Can I talk during the session?
It’s entirely up to you! Some clients prefer to relax in silence, while others may enjoy light conversation. Your doctor will follow your lead.
Are gratuities expected?
Gratuities are not required but are always appreciated as a way to thank your doctor for excellent service.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee.
Can Naprapathic / Specialized Body Work Help with Specific Conditions?
Yes, many clients seek this type of therapy for specific musculoskeletal concerns. Because Naprapathic care focuses on relieving soft tissue restrictions, improving posture, and restoring mobility, it can often support people dealing with:
Chronic muscle tension or pain (neck, shoulders, back, hips)
Postural issues from desk work, repetitive strain, or injury
Joint stiffness or limited range of motion
Sports-related soreness or recovery needs
Headaches or tension caused by muscle tightness
Rehabilitation support after certain injuries (with doctor clearance)
Important Note: While this therapy can help manage symptoms and improve function, it is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. Clients with serious medical conditions (such as fractures, infections, blood clots, or other complex health issues) should consult their healthcare provider before starting care. Sessions are always adapted to your individual needs and health history.
If you have a specific condition, let your therapist know so they can tailor the session to your needs.
