Improving Quality of Life with a Licensed Massage Therapist in Stamford CT
Life is a constant race to the finish, with your body up against the clock alongside your work deadlines, 
gym training sessions, or long commutes to the office. The mind needs to be in sync with the body in order to reach its top performance throughout the day, and that is where I step in. As a licensed massage therapist at Head to Toe Muscle Clinic in Stamford CT, I work with clients to develop a personalized plan of regular massage therapy sessions to treat lingering injuries and muscle aches and strains caused by sports, work activity, and daily stress. Convalescing from an injury takes time, and through trigger point massage, deep tissue massage, and sports massage, I help you heal gradually so that you can get back on track, whether that means getting you back on an actual one or getting you back on your normal schedule.

About Head to Toe Muscle Clinic
Hi, I’m Matt Snow owner of Head to Toe Muscle Clinic, and I help people like you maintain and regain pain free movement, heal from injuries, manage chronic pain, and relax so you can perform activities that bring you joy and fulfillment and live your life to your fullest potential.
I graduated from massage therapy school after experiencing two deaths. Before and during massage therapy school I used martial arts and movement to help heal and find purpose after these events. After graduating massage therapy I quickly started working in a Pain Management/ Physical Therapy office where I worked with 12 -16 patients a day. After working for nine years with people of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and different movement impairments and pain conditions I saw first hand how frustrating, depressing, and difficult it can be to cope with changes in your body. I never had a pain condition that forced me to stop activities that I love but I know how important movement was for me at an important time in my life. I enjoy helping people find relief from pain, tension, stress and helping them recharge and get back into the world.
Orthopedic Massage
Orthopedic Massage specializes in healing muscle and joint injuries. Orthopedic massage uses assessments and movement tests to understand how your muscle or joints are injured so that the most appropriate techniques can be used for your condition. Assessment also establishes a baseline of your pain and ability to move so that you can see improvement over time. Orthopedic massage uses swedish massage, PNF stretching, and Active and Passive Release Technique.
Myo-skeletal Alignment Techniques (MAT)
Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques is a combination of deep tissue massage, muscleenergy techniques, myofascial techniques, and stretching. It’s focus is to help pain and tension by correcting muscle and skeletal imbalances. MAT uses assessment and movement testing to determine the nature of the injury and movement restrictions. Deep Tissue and myofascial techniques are used to help heal and relieve pain in your muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
What Technique distinguishes the MAT from Orthopedic Massage?
One Technique that distinguishes the MAT from Orthopedic Massage is releasing joint restrictions by manipulating the muscles. This is particularly focused on in the spinal joints where the muscles are very tiny and spasms in these small muscles can create mis-alignments in your neck and back. Massage and pressure to your muscles while moving your joints through their range motion helps reduce pain and removes movement restrictions.
Muscle Energy techniques (a type of stretching similar to PNF stretching) are then applied to restore proper movement and to put joints back into alignment.
