Myofascial release is a soft tissue therapy used to treat deep muscular tension, somatic dysfunction, and pain by relaxing the fascia (the fibrous bands around muscles, ligaments, and tendons). The technique requires very firm pressure that stretches and elongates deep muscle tissue, increasing range of motion and circulation. No lubricant is added to the skin so the therapist can locate and release the areas of connective tissue that are restricted.

Myofascial release applies sustained pressure on targeted areas of connective tissue (fascia) that surround your muscles and bones. This pressure is meant to release the restriction in the connective tissue so that you have greater range of motion and less pain. Using steady pressure is the key. The fibers must be allowed sufficient time to soften and stretch.

Wide range of potential benefits including (but not limited to): Corrects muscle imbalances; improves joint range of motion and overall flexibility; can help alleviate headaches or symptoms of migraines; relieves muscle soreness and joint stress and decreases overall effects of stress.
