Services & Therapies
Sādhanā Health, Inc is a multi-disciplinary health and wellness clinic in Santa Monica, California dedicated to facilitating whole body healing for both children and adults.
Manual Therapy
Our California state certified Manual Therapists directly work soft tissue, muscles, and joints to remove pain or swelling, improve range of motion, enhance musculoskeletal alignment, and improve proprioception. This treatment can also use instruments to achieve the desired goal. This is sometimes called Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM). Myofascial Decompression Therapy (aka Cupping Therapy) using silicone, plastic, or glass “cups” is also utilized by our team to address soft tissue adhesions.
We offer manual therapy in 30 and 60-minute sessions. Our providers integrate a wide range of techniques including:
- Acupressure (TCM based)
- Movement Re-education
- IASTM/Graston Technique®
- Myofascial Release
- Neuromuscular Therapy
- Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation
- Stretching
- Sports Massage
- Trigger Point Therapy
- Lymphatic Drainage Massage
CORRECTIVE EXERCISE & PERSONAL TRAINING
Our NASM certified Corrective Exercise Specialists & Personal Trainers will assess your functional movement and determine the root cause(s) of dysfunctional movement patterns that can lead to imbalances with posture, proprioception, and coordination. After your evaluation, an exercise routine is developed that addresses your specific needs which leads to less pain, improved strength, improved mobility, and improved balance.
