MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

Fascia is a web of connective tissue that envelopes and connects the organs and muscles of the body.  Muscles and fascia are united in the myofascia system.  When fascia is injured by things like trauma, stress, poor posture or inflammation, restrictions are formed, causing the fibers to become short and tight.  Over time, this uneven pull can begin to spread and cause pain and problems in other parts of the body.  With myofascial release, your LMT seeks to ease these restrictions by working slowly through the layers of fascia and muscle to stretch and mobilize the tissue.  This type of massage is done directly on the skin with little or no oil or cream.
