Myofascial Release Massage

Tendinitis? Bursitis? Knee/Hip replacement? Rotator cuff surgery? Tension headaches? Plantar Fascitis? Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome? Shin Splints? Sprain/Strain? Whiplash? Pulled muscle? ACL tear? Chronic back or neck pain? Sciatica? Scapular dyskinesia? 

What do all of these conditions have in common? They all respond beautifully to myofascial release!

First a quick rundown on fascial tissue. Fascial tissue is a white membrane which wraps all muscles, muscle fascicles, and even every individual muscle fiber. 40% of a muscle's total weight is fascial tissue! It serves many functions, however, its function as a lubricant is most vital to your feeling comfortable in your skin. It allows everything it wraps, from muscles to muscles fibers, to slide over whatever is next to it, effortlessly. Does your movement feel effortless? Overtime, from physical and emotional trauma, habitual movement patterns, disease, and the desiccation of tissue that can accompany the aging process, fascial tissue can become hard, rigid, short, gluey, and inelastic. In short, fascial tissue will change from a lubricant to an adhesive. This binding up of fascial tissue limits movement and can hold your body in poor patterns and postures, developing into a long term source of pain. Much of what people experience as stress, tension, pain, and loss of ease and range of motion can be attributed to tight/stuck fascial tissue. This treatment consists of deep, transformative techniques that are designed to lengthen, stretch, and soften this tissue to improve your mobility and bring comfort to your body while you move.
