Since graduating in 2019, Sydney’s focus as an RMT has largely become based on myofascial release such as cupping and manual release; postural correction and injury prevention and recovery. Treating fascia as well as muscles allows the body to recover in a more complete way; improving overall mobility of not just the affected area but the body as a whole.

As a former competitive gymnast and now as a coach, Sydney has developed a deep understanding and appreciation of the importance of mindful movement and treating the body as a whole system. As such, she believes treatment should encompass this idea and not just focused on the one affected area. Sydney’s treatment philosophy targets not just the muscles and soft tissue but the Nervous System as well. This allows the body to relax and decrease overall tension in the body; leading to a more relaxed state while still treating deep layers of tissue.
