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

Recent NIH‑funded studies show that sustained fascial pressure of 90–120 seconds can decrease fibroblast stiffness and improve tissue elasticity—correlating with reduced pain and greater range of motion (Langevin et al., 2022). This evidence underpins our technique and supports longer‑lasting relief compared with surface‑level deep‑tissue work.

Myths

Facts

Q

“It’s just another form of deep tissue.”

Z

Myofascial release focuses on fascia first, muscles second, producing longer‑term changes.

Q

“It has to hurt to work.”

Z

Effective release should feel like deep stretch—intense but tolerable, never sharp pain.

Q

“Results are temporary.”

Z

Studies show sustained fascial change persists when paired with hydration and movement.
