What Clients Are Saying
“My shoulder pain vanished after one session of myofascial release.”
“Months of PT couldn’t match the relief I got here.”
What Is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial release is a specialized, oil‑free technique that targets the fascia—the body‑wide web of connective tissue enveloping every muscle, tendon, and organ. When fascia becomes rigid from injury, surgery, or chronic stress, it restricts movement and generates pain that traditional massage often can’t resolve. Myofascial therapy applies slow, sustained pressure and stretch to restore the fascia’s natural glide, freeing underlying muscles and nerves.
Science & Research Spotlight
Myofascial Release vs. Deep‑Tissue Massage
Deep‑Tissue Massage
Uses oil for broad strokes on individual muscles
Pressure varies; often faster, rhythmic
Results last days to a week
Limited cross‑fiber work
Myofascial Release
No oil—allows precise engagement of fascial layers
Very slow, sustained holds (90+ sec)
Clients report relief lasting weeks or months
Cross‑fiber, multi‑directional stretch frees adhesions
Common Myths & Facts
Myths
Facts
“It’s just another form of deep tissue.”
Myofascial release focuses on fascia first, muscles second, producing longer‑term changes.
“It has to hurt to work.”
Effective release should feel like deep stretch—intense but tolerable, never sharp pain.
“Results are temporary.”
Studies show sustained fascial change persists when paired with hydration and movement.
