Benefits of Myofascial Release Therapy
What is myofascial release therapy? This hands-on therapy helps relieve pain and improve mobility by applying dynamic or static sustained pressure. This process encourages micro-stretching in the muscles and soft tissues to help reduce fascial tightness, release tight bands, and minimize the discomfort of knots.
Using either stationary or slow-moving application of pressure, without oil (or minimal lubricant), this treatment may help,
- In the reduction of pain, muscle soreness, and discomfort from fibromyalgia.
- Assist in the improvement of mobility and joint range of motion.
- Improve circulation and blood flow.
- Reduce stress, anxiety, and tension.
- Improve postural comfort.
- Excelerate recovery time.

Available Addons
- Myofascial Scraping: This targeted treatment helps alleviate pain and discomfort associated with facial restrictions, stiffness, and scar tissue. Using a special, smooth-edged instrument to scrape and glide over your skin, your therapist will use advanced techniques to help reduce pain and muscle tension, enhance mobility and tissue elasticity, and promote faster recovery times from injuries. This treatment may cause redness, bruising, or discomfort after a session and is not suitable for areas with open wounds, infections, or for those with blot clotting disorders.
- Myofascial Cupping: This treatment utilizes suction to create negative pressure, which lifts and stretches the underlying soft tissues. Cupping targets the fascia, muscles, and connective tissue to help relieve tension, improve circulation, reduce pain, and promote a sense of peace and ease. Cupping is a great way to provide deep muscle relief without deep muscle pressure. Additionally, it adds variety to your session, which may help interrupt the negative feedback loop of discomfort in your pain system. Cupping typically leaves superficial bruises on the skin after treatment, which usually fade within 7 to 10 days.
- Myofascial Release Trigger Point Therapy: This targeted treatment helps relieve pain and tension by focusing on areas of tightness known as trigger points. These are hyper-irritable spots in muscle fibers that feel like knots or tightness. By applying sustained pressure and stretching to these areas, this treatment may help deactivate these points of discomfort. While your therapist may identify trigger points throughout the session via palpation, please inform them of any tight bands or knots before the start of your session. Pain relief massage requires open communication, so please let your therapist know how you are feeling throughout the session.
- Muscle Vibration Therapy: Using a specialized tool to apply mechanical vibration to a target area, this treatment helps stimulate muscles, encouraging them to contract and relax rapidly, thereby improving muscle activation, circulation, and promoting recovery. This treatment is beneficial for individuals with tight muscles and knots, as well as those with hypersensitive muscles that are painful or ticklish to the touch.
- Moist Heat Therapy: Applying moist heat to specific areas of the body, this treatment helps provide targeted relief for pain and muscle stiffness while also supporting the body’s natural healing process. Using water-based heating packs from a hydrocollator, this treatment penetrates deeper into muscle tissue than dry heat, helping to relax tight muscles and reduce spasms, alleviate joint stiffness, increase blood flow, and ease soreness. This treatment is not suitable for open wounds, acute injuries with swelling, or areas with poor sensation.
- Percussive Therapy: This treatment introduces the use of rapid, repetitive, and targeted bursts of pressure to stimulate the fascia and muscles. It may include manual tapotement and mechanical instruments, such as a massage gun or bongers, to help relieve tension, improve blood flow, and reduce soreness to help facilitate recovery.
