Myofascial release, a hands-on massage therapy, focuses on the fascia—a highly innervated network enveloping muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. This connective tissue structure is what gives us our shape.
When any form of trauma occurs, the fascia can lose its smooth gliding ability and adaptive qualities, resulting in common orthopedic issues like stiffness, muscle tension, and trigger points. Our myofascial release approach is grounded in a holistic understanding of the fascial system, including relevant neurology and the underlying anatomy. Techniques can vary from gentle unwinding to more direct soft tissue releases and joint articulations. The main goals of this therapy are to improve how your body moves and to enhance your own body sense, leading to reductions in pain, improving function, and an overall greater sense of well-being. For long term care, regular myofascial work offers a proactive approach to managing pain and preventing biomechanical stress that can lead to injury. Drawing inspiration from European Osteopathy and American Structural Integration, our myofascial release approach also integrates insights from other modalities, such as acupuncture.
