Myofascial Release Massage



Myofascial Release massage combines the full body alignment based focus, balancing the body from head to toe, while applying some massage techniques to create the relaxation and sense of well-being quality to the treatment. Myofascial Release itself works with a sustained pressure, according to a feedback mechanism, pressure is applied more deeply and in changing directions based on the feedback of the fascial release. 
A good Massage therapist will be able to locate the important tender points where issues may originate. Sessions are not neccessarily  followed from one straightline of the body. Often the therapist will release one area then depending on how the alignment begins to unwind or respond,.The therapist may move to a completely different part of the body seemingly unrelated, yet critically important to freeing deep restrictions and realigning the body.
