Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release Massage (MFR) is a specialized manual therapy technique that targets the fascia.
The fascia is a thin layer of connective tissue that support muscles and organs throughout the body. By applying gentle, sustained pressure, myofascial release massage alleviates pain and tension in the fascia.
Pain Reduction
By easing tightness in the fascia, relieves chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, back pain, and tension headaches.
Injury Recovery
MFR aids in injury recovery by promoting blood circulation, restoring optimal tissue function, and reducing inflammation.
Improved Mobility
Tight fascia can limit movement. This massage lengthen and relax tissues, restoring flexibility and promoting better range of motion.
Better Posture
Restricted fascia pulls the body out of alignment, leading to poor posture. But regular sessions of this massage can help realign the body.
Is This Massage For Everyone?
During a myofascial release massage, the therapist uses their hands, fingers, or elbows to apply pressure to specific areas of tension in the fascia. They may also use stretching or other techniques to help release tightness and promote relaxation.
Traditional massages focuses primarily on muscles. But myofascial release massage targets the fascia and other soft tissues. As a result, it improves range of motion, reducing pain, and promoting overall wellness.
Overall, this massage is safe and effective. However, if you take blood thinners, have deep vein thrombosis, or bone fractures, consult with your therapist before getting massage.Who Does This Massage Help?
