Fascia is the thin connective tissue that wraps your muscles. When it becomes tight or restricted, it can limit how freely you move. Myofascial release uses slow, sustained pressure to ease that tension.
What it is
Instead of quick pressure, myofascial release is gentle and slow: pressure is held until the tissue softens. It is often used alongside adjustments and movement work to help muscles and joints move more freely.
Who it may help
- Stiffness that stretching alone does not fix
- Tightness after an injury or surgery (once your doctor clears it)
- Chronic tension in the back, hips, or shoulders
- Restricted range of motion

Common questions
Is it like a massage?
It is related, but more specific: the aim is to release particular restricted areas as part of a treatment plan, not general relaxation.
Can it be uncomfortable?
Pressure is gentle and sustained. Let us know if anything feels too intense and we will adjust.
