Myofascial Release

Myofascial release is a hands-on technique that works the fascia — the connective tissue membrane that surrounds muscles and organs. Using sustained pressure and slow gliding strokes, the therapist releases adhesions and areas of tension (trigger points), restoring mobility and easing pain. It can be done with the hands or with tools. A session lasts between 45 and 60 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

Does myofascial release hurt?

There may be some discomfort when working on areas of tension, often described as a good kind of ache. It should never be unbearable — always tell your therapist your limit.

Is it the same as a massage?

It is a specific technique within bodywork. Unlike a relaxation massage, it focuses on the fascia and trigger points, using sustained, more targeted pressure.
