Introducing Integrated Soft-Tissue Therapy Plus — the Agonist–Antagonist Reset™

Hello friends,
For years I’ve watched a familiar story play out on the table. We release an overworked muscle, you feel lighter, you walk out happy… and then a week later something pulls you back out of shape. Not because the release “didn’t work”, but because its opposite never woke up to share the job.
So I built a simple, clinical answer that fits the way the body truly moves:
Integrated Soft-Tissue Therapy Plus— the Agonist–Antagonist Reset™.
It does two things in one session:
Release the overactive muscle that’s guarding (the agonist), and
Reactivate its underworking opposite (the antagonist) so the system rebalances.
Think pec minor ↓ + lower trap/serratus ↑, hip flexor ↓ + glute max/TrA ↑, upper traps ↓ + deep neck flexors ↑, peroneals ↓ + tibialis posterior/intrinsics ↑.
Release and re-engage. Two hands, one logic
.
Why this matters
Pain loves single points to blame; bodies don’t. Your posture, breath and movement are team sports. If one player grips too hard, the partner on the other side quietly drifts off. We can knead the gripper all day; until its partner returns, the load will creep back to the same hotspot.
Reset = timing + load-sharing.
When timing returns, joints glide, breath deepens, and the “grippers” can finally stop shouting.
What happens in your session
1) Fast assessment (you can feel it)
Two quick screens along front, back and spiral lines plus a simple re-test you’ll notice (reach, rotate, step).
2) Release (agonist)
Precise myofascial & trigger-point work to calm hotspots and free the slide between layers. It’s firm but thoughtful—no heroics.
3) Reactivate (antagonist)
On-table isometrics and breath cues to wake the quiet partner. Seconds, not minutes. Small, accurate, repeatable.
4) Integrate & re-test
We link the line again, then immediately re-check the thing that hurt. You should feel quieter, taller, freer—and you leave with two simple cues to keep it.

A few everyday examples
Desk-neck / rounded shoulders
Release: suboccipitals, pec minor/intercostals → Reactivate: deep neck flexors, lower trap + serratus.
Feel: chin sits back without effort; blades glide instead of shrug.
Shoulder impingement (postural)
Release: posterior cuff/pec minor → Reactivate: external rotators + lower trap.
Feel: arm clears the “pinch point” earlier in the arc.
APT (anterior pelvic tilt)
Release: psoas/iliacus, TFL → Reactivate: TrA + glute max.
Feel: pelvis stacks; hamstrings stop doing everyone’s job.
Knee valgus (knee drifting in)
Release: TFL/ITB, vastus lateralis → Reactivate: glute med + VMO.
Feel: knee tracks over the second toe without cues.
Foot over-pronation / plantar fascia grumble (non-acute)
Release: peroneals/soleus → Reactivate: tibialis posterior + foot intrinsics (arch dome).
Feel: tripod returns; big toe joins the team.
Who it’s for
Stubborn, posture-driven pain and “it keeps coming back” tightness—neck/shoulder, mid-back, hip/pelvis, knee/foot. Also ideal if you’ve had standard massage that helped but didn’t hold.
What it isn’t
It’s soft-tissue therapy, not a medical diagnosis. If you’ve got red-flag symptoms (sudden severe pain, numbness/weakness, chest pain, breathlessness, fever, recent trauma), please see your GP first. We screen and refer where appropriate.
Why it fits the JANMI philosophy
I train outdoors every week to keep my hands honest and my touch natural. The method is simple: respect the lines, balance the pair, keep the cues human. We aim for fewer words, better timing, and results you can feel in the room—before you reach the pavement.
