Why Myofascial Massage ? What's the big difference?

Myofascial release is a form of manual therapy addressing specifically the connective tissue layer of the body. It's the connective tissue that offers a filmy kind of covering over every part of our body from Head to toe, also inside-out starting at the cellular level. So when you think of gaining balance, greater flexibility, freeing up tension in your tight hamstrings, hips, or calves, the more comprehensive approach is to work on your fascia. 
Rather than going for swedish massage or just deep tissue massage to gain valuable circulation of blood and of course, to feel good, relaxed, you can address deeper issues with alignment and pain through Myofascial massage. 
What to know?
Pressure is applied in accordance with feedback from the soft tissue that the therapist is feeling. Using a sustained pressure that only gradually deepens as the connective tissue warms up, softens, and melts to deeper layers. This is how the technique feels. Gradually, the pressure increases to more intense levels helping relieve pressure or tension in the fascia tissue. Overtime, your structure, spine, joints can then realign with a new found sense of alignment and balance. Thus giving you more freedom to move.

Myofascial massage offers the recipient time to feel the connectivity of their structure and soft tissue. Making you more aware of where your imbalances lie and helping you gain perspective.

Try it for yourself and feel the difference
