FASCIA RELEASE MASSAGE
Fascia Release Massage, also known as myofascial release, is a therapeutic technique. It focuses on the manipulation and release of the fascia. The fascia is a connective tissue, which surrounds and supports muscles organs and other structures in the body. Fascia release massage aims to alleviate pain, improve mobility and restore balance in the body. It does this by addressing restrictions or adhesions in the fascia tissue.
Fascia is a three-dimensional web-like network of connective tissue. It surrounds and permeates every structure in the body, including muscles, bones, nerves and organs. It provides support, protection and allows for proper movement and function. Fascia restrictions or adhesions can develop due to factors such as injuries, trauma, poor posture, repetitive movements or chronic stress and this can cause pain, limited range of motion and dysfunction.
Fascia Release Massage targets and releases tension and restrictions in the body’s fascia tissues. When the fascia becomes tight, adhered or restricted, it can cause discomfort, pain and limitations in movement. By releasing fascia restrictions through massage, joint mobility can be improved, allowing for better movement and flexibility.
Fascia is interconnected with muscles and tension or imbalances in the fascia system can affect muscle function. Fascia release massage techniques can help relax and lengthen muscles that have become tight or overactive due to poor posture. Fascia release massage can support better postural alignment by releasing muscle tension and restoring balance. Fascia release massage generally involves slow, gentle and sustained pressure. This pressure is applied to specific areas of the body. This can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s relaxation response. By activating the relaxation response, the body enters a state of deep relaxation, promoting a sense of calm and reducing stress.
Fascia release massage may cause temporary discomfort or soreness during or after the session. This is especially true if there are significant fascia restrictions. Our therapist will work within your comfort level and will communicate with you throughout the treatment.
