Myofascial Release Massage

What Is Myofascial Release?

Myofascial release massage is a type of physical therapy often used to treat myofascial pain syndrome. Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder caused by sensitivity and tightness in your myofascial tissues. These tissues surround and support the muscles throughout your body.


Myofascial release is a safe and effective massage technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure to the trigger points to alleviate pain and restore movement and function within the joints and soft tissue. This therapy can be effective for a wide range of ailments including congenital vertebral abnormalities, fatigue, menstrual and pelvic pain, sports injuries.

Myofascial Release Techniques

Our mobile Myofascial release massage strokes are performed using a variety of techniques involving fingers, loose fists, forearms, or elbows. Each stroke is thoughtfully executed at a slow pace to minimize the activation of the myotatic/stretch reflex, which helps the body relax and respond more effectively. The stroke is taken to the appropriate depth, ensuring that the therapist continuously feels contact with the fascial layer while being attuned to the body's subtle responses. By applying body weight, the stroke glides gently yet deliberately through the tissue, allowing for deeper penetration and effectiveness.


Moreover, the angle of the strokes can also be modified during implementation, which helps to ensure that a continued stretch effect is achieved within the fascial structure. Typically, a carefully maintained 45-degree angle directed into both the tissue and the treatment direction further enhances this desired stretch effect, making the treatment even more productive.
