Myofascial Deep Tissue Therapy
Myofascial release is a very effective hands-on method that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.
In the normal healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration. It has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. When we experience physical trauma, scarring, or inflammation, the fascia becomes tight, restricted and a source of tension to the rest of the body. Trauma, such as a fall, whiplash, surgery or just habitual poor posture over time and repetitive stress injuries has cumulative negative effects. These changes cause the system to influence comfort and the functioning of the body. The fascia can exert excessive pressure producing pain or restriction of motion. They affect our flexibility and stability and are a determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and strain. Releasing the tension in the fascia can greatly reduce and ease pain and help to restore motion to the rest of the body.

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibres of the muscles, tendons and fascia.
This therapy also helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue.
Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage, but if it’s done right the client should feel better than ever within a day or two. The technique is often used in combination with other massage procedures such as those used in Remedial and Sports Massage.
