Myofascial Release Massage

Myofascial massage is a specialized therapeutic technique aimed at alleviating pain and improving mobility and is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial massage differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body, imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your range of motion and comfort level. While other forms of massage can overlook the fascia, myofascial massage focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important membrane. During the treatment, a therapist applies gentle, sustained pressure to release restrictions and adhesions within the fascia, promoting better tissue flexibility and function.

I have combined this technique with other modalities of massage such as swedish, trigger point, traeger and a few others to gently open up the fascia to help restore movement and reduce pain and stiffness. It may feel like deep tissue at times but it is more gentle and less painful. This type of massage is custom for each individual and their specific needs and takes the place of other types of massages such deep tissue, swedish, sports massage and others, my intuitive style focusing on releasing the fascial adhesions will be good for everyone, even people with Bell's Palsy or other complicated diseases or symptoms; this includes pregnant or post-partum women.

Benefits of myofascial release massage include:

• Reduced muscle tension and pain
• Enhanced range of motion and flexibility
• Improved circulation and lymphatic flow
• Decreased inflammation and scar tissue formation
• Relief from chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, nerve issues, arthritis, back pain, head/neck/jaw issues, headaches, compressed discs, bones out of place, and many others
• Overall relaxation and stress reduction

This therapy is often used to treat musculoskeletal issues, enhance athletic performance, and support recovery from injuries.
