Fascia is a tough, fibrous connective tissue that is present in the entire body, from head to toe. This “sheath” of fascia is a three-dimensional web that serves a major purpose in maintaining the body’s shape and supporting vital organs. This web covers and supports muscles, bones, nerves, organs and vessels down to a cellular level.

When trauma—both physical and emotional—poor posture or inflammation occur, this binds down the fascia and causes abnormal pressure on the body’s components. With Myofascial Release, the therapist evaluates the body as a whole. They look at the anatomical body and determine where restrictions are being held. They use hands-on techniques to work into the fascia to help facilitate release and relief.

This is a highly therapeutic modality of massage that focuses on relieving points of tension and pain to provide relief. No lotions, oils or creams are used during myofascial release, and clothing is worn during the session. This ideal clothing to wear includes shorts, a sports bra if desired for females and a tank top for either gender. Myofascial release is beneficial for the following conditions: Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia, Frozen Shoulder, Headaches/Migraines, Pelvic Pain, Scars, Sciatica, and TMJ Syndrome.
