Myofascial Release.
Fascial massage, also known as myofascial release, is a type of massage therapy that focuses on the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs in the body. Fascia can become tight, restricted, or adhesed due to various factors such as injury, inflammation, stress, or poor posture. This can lead to pain, discomfort, and restricted movement.
During a fascial massage session, the therapist applies gentle sustained pressure and stretching techniques to the fascial tissue to release tension and restore mobility. The goal is to soften and lengthen the fascia, allowing for improved flexibility, circulation, and overall well-being.
Fascial massage is often used to address chronic pain conditions, muscle stiffness, postural imbalances, and sports injuries. It can be performed as a standalone treatment or incorporated into a comprehensive massage therapy session.
It's essential to work with a qualified massage therapist who understands the intricacies of fascial release techniques to ensure a safe and effective treatment experience. Depending on the individual's needs and preferences, fascial massage can be tailored to target specific areas of tension or provide full-body relaxation and rejuvenation.
