MYOFASCIAL MASSAGE

DESCRIPTION

Myofascial massage is a highly effective treatment for pain management, injury recovery, and improved athletic performance. It works directly with the fascia — the connective tissue that supports muscles, joints, and movement — using slow, dry techniques to release restriction at its source. This treatment is performed without oil, allowing sustained pressure and gentle traction to engage the fascia fully. When fascia becomes restricted through injury, repetitive movement, stress, or overuse, it can lose its fluid quality, contributing to pain, reduced mobility, and altered movement patterns. Myofascial work helps return the fascia to a more hydrated, pliable, and elastic state, improving range of motion and reducing discomfort. For active bodies and athletes, this approach supports recovery, enhances movement efficiency, and reduces compensatory strain that can lead to injury. For those living with persistent or chronic pain, the slow, mindful nature of myofascial release helps calm the nervous system, reduce protective guarding, and restore a sense of safety within the body. By working gradually and respectfully with the tissue, this treatment encourages long-lasting change — supporting pain relief, functional movement, and nervous system regulation beyond the session itself.
