Myofascial Release
Techniques vary per therapist. Firm pressure is applied on specific points and slowly pushes through deeper layers of muscles to stretch and elongate the fascia.
Myofascial therapy can relieve pain caused by muscular tension. It relaxes tense muscles and assists natural healing by increasing circulation. Regular myofascial massage is also thought to help break up scar tissue and heal sports injuries, and helps reduce chronic pain (such as low-back pain caused by sitting). When fascia is released it can help improve your body’s natural alignment and posture, which can be the root-cause of tension and pain.
