Myofascial Release -or- massage therapy is a hands-on, whole-body approach for the evaluation and treatment of pain and the restoration of motion. This involves muscles and the connective tissue fascia that holds your entire body together.
Think of your fascia as a body suit that connects all your tissues together. Think of fascia is a densely woven fabric, like a sweater, that connects all your organs, muscles and tissues.
Even your heart, blood vessels, lungs and spinal cord. Like our clothing, it has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. But that changes when we experience physical trauma, scarring or inflammation. Then, the fascia loses its pliability. It can become tight, restricted and a source of tension, reduced motion and even producing pain. First, one of our massage therapists will conduct a thorough evaluation, looking at your posture, your ability to turn, bend and move.
Gently stretching the fascia and involved muscles causes them to release. This is not a massage! Progress is rarely a straight line. Expect some ups and downs as your body learns it can abandon its defensive posture. As your body heals, your brain will eventually recognize your new posture and muscle tone as normal. With time, expect better movement, more strength, flexibility, improved posture and greater vitality.
