Living with chronic pain? Myofascial Release Massage may be your answer.

Fascia is a connective tissue that covers muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. When it is unhealthy  it acts like glue forming adhesions and trigger points, making muscles feel hard and not pliable also limiting range of motion. Fascia may become unhealthy due to repetitive movement, physical or emotional trauma or even poor posture.

Myofascial Release Massage may help by reducing tension and tightness within the muscles. Working a broad area of muscles not just where the localized pain is (everything is connected). This technique restores the fluidity of the muscles making them soft, elastic, and improving range of motion. There is relatively little risk involved with this therapy. People with chronic or even short-term pain may want see if it can provide relief especially if trying to avoid surgery.
