Myofascial Massage releases fascia, the thin membrane that lies under our skin and covers our entire body, allowing it to function correctly. Fascia can become twisted, ridged or static when the body experiences injury or long-term postural issues. This can result in a restricted range of motion and nerve impingement causing pain and dysfunction. Myofascial Massage stretches, lengthens and spreads the fascia allowing it to function correctly restoring movement and reducing pain.
