Myofascial Release

Myofascial release therapy is the release of the connective tissue surrounding the muscle fiber that supports your entire body. When restricted, the connective tissue (known as fascia) can cause significant challenges, particularly regarding posture. During treatment we apply sustained pressure that allows these connective tissue fibers to loosen and become more flexible, relieving persistent tension that is the frequent cause of chronic pain.

The Benefits of Myofascial Release Massage Therapy:

  • Improved blood circulation
  • Increase in range of motion and flexibility
  • Reduced muscle soreness
  • Maintenance of muscle strength
  • Strengthened immune system
  • Improved nerve functioning

We can evaluate your posture and offer detailed recommendations for alleviating chronic conditions. We can provide a safe and effective massage therapy treatment plan to help restore, realign and bring the myofascial system into balance.

Conditions improved by Myofascial release:

  • A range of sports related injuries
  • Whiplash injury
  • Muscle spasms
  • Limited range of motion
  • Postural inefficiencies
  • Headaches
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • General soreness and chronic pain

Myofascial Injury Affects Proper Nerve Function and Blood Circulation

Trauma or injury in a particular area can lead to myofascial dysfunctions that limit your range of motion and compress muscles or nerves causing decreased blood circulation. The result is chronic pain and reduced physical performance. At Oakville Shiatsu & Massage Therapy Centre we use myofascial release techniques that stretch and release adhesions and condition your body to release natural endorphins. Myofascial release techniques can have a significant and profound effect on the body, providing lasting relief. We invite people to contact us for more information or to schedule an appointment.
