What Is Myofascial Release?
A myofascial release massage is a therapy that treats skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation. This therapy-type also aids in stimulating the stretch reflex in the muscles and fascia.
Fascia is a thin, tough, elastic-type of connective tissue that covers all the organs within the human body, working to support and protect every muscle, as well as every fiber within each muscle. When these fibers are injured, they become short and tight. This is a common occurrence and is most likely the result of disease, overuse, trauma, infectious agents, or inactivity. These can cause pain, muscle tension, and corresponding diminished blood flow.
A myofascial release massage utilizes a combination of massage techniques and stretching that is specially designed to soothe those with soft-tissue ailments.

What To Expect Out Of Myofascial Release
Our myofascial release massage is a very gentle and relaxing form of treatment that is used to equalize muscle tension throughout the body. Our massage professionals will start by applying a slight amount of pressure or traction to the restricted areas of the body. This localized pressure is held for about five minutes, where you can expect to feel the tissue begin to soften.
As this softening continues, we will slowly increase the amount of pressure and stretch applied. This time duration is a crucial component to fully releasing the deep layers of the fascial system and, in turn, allowing the body to begin the healing process.

Is Myofascial Release Different From Regular Massage?
Yes, myofascial release is a specialized technique that differs from traditional massage. While regular massage typically focuses on muscles, myofascial release works specifically on the fascia – the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and joints throughout your body.
Our therapists use sustained, gentle pressure to release restrictions in this tissue, often holding positions for several minutes to allow the fascia to elongate naturally.
This slower, more focused approach can provide long-lasting relief from chronic pain and restricted movement in ways that traditional massage may not address.
