About
Nikki Gibson, Adhesion Release Therapist
Who are we:
At Abracadabra Your Body Works! we specialize in treatment based
pain solutions using methods such as
The Adhesion Release Method.
These methods have been designed for individuals who have experienced persistent muscle pain for over six months, who have been to the doctors, have done the physical therapy, who have had the MRI's, and have not found relief.
This is not a massage or typical muscle therapy. This is a specialized form of bodywork aimed at providing lasting freedom from pain.

The Adhesion Release Method (ARM)
ARM is a highly effective method for addressing adhesion, a common yet often overlooked cause of ongoing pain in the musculoskeletal system.
How can ARM significantly reduce/eliminate your persistent muscle pain?
Adhesion Release restores the texture, motion, and function of soft tissue, relieving trapped nerves and/or blood vessels.
This technique provides relief for a wide range of individuals, including office workers, tradespeople, gardeners, weekend warriors, elite athletes, and frequent travelers.
It addresses the unique physical demands and stressors each group faces, providing effective relief and improved mobility for all

What symptoms can ARM alleviate?
ARM alleviates so many different symptoms! Including headaches, any kind of body pain, chronic injuries, TMJD, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, whiplash, rotator cuff injuries, post surgery issues, etc.
What should I expect during my ARM session?
Sessions are typically 30 -60 minutes.
This includes time for the intake, measuring range of motion, etc.
Depending on the techniques used, a session can range from
very relaxing to very intense. Please arrive wearing loose comfortable clothing or athletic clothing for your bodywork session. This allows the therapist to move, stretch, and get you into different positions that make the session
more effective.

How many sessions will I need before
I feel better?
This depends on the issue and how long the symptoms have persisted or the condition has been present.
Usually results are achieved in one or two sessions per week for 12-24 weeks.
Our pain solution treatment plans are an investment-in yourself!
We recommend starting with 12 sessions.
As you evolve,
we will working together to determine if you need
more work, or if you are ready to transition to maintenance care.
What training does Nikki Gibson have?
Nikki is a professionally trained and licensed bodywork therapist with her degree in exercise health science.
She has also completed certifications in several modalities, such as , cupping, musculoskeletal alignment, lymph drainage, adhesion removal etc.
Does this hurt?
We need to hit a level of intensity
in order to change and lengthen the fascia to get rid of the issues.
In order to do that we have to create thixotropy (heat) in the area with deep, slow strokes and then move the fascia in the correct
direction. The more stuck the area is, the more intense it can be. We are trained to provide the right amount of pressure and intensity.
The benefits of Adhesion Release are twofold; Physical and Psychological
Physical: Adhesion Release is a very personal process. No two people are alike; their experience and the benefits will always vary. As a result of the process people often appear taller and slimmer. Some actually gain anywhere from 1/4 inch to over 1-inch in height. Feelings of discomfort or pain are often alleviated. Others often experience benefits such as greater flexibility, a feeling of lightness and fluidity, better balance, increased breathing capacity, and increased energy.
Psychological: The Adhesion Release Method is primarily concerned with physical changes in the body, yet affects the whole person. We are made up of emotions, attitudes, belief systems and behavior patterns as well as a physical being which are all interrelated. If the physical structure is aligned then the individual’s potential will open up. Often, we receive reports of positive changes, less stress, increased self-confidence, and improved ability to handle life’s changes with ease (reports come from all ages).
