Myofascial Release
What is Myofascial Massage?
Our Myofascial Massage in Cronulla is a specialised treatment that focuses on releasing restrictions in the fascia — the connective tissue that supports your muscles, joints, and organs. When fascia becomes tight or restricted, it can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. This treatment utilises gentle, sustained pressure, combined with a nourishing myofascial balm, to restore movement, relieve tension, and support long-term well-being.
What to Expect
Assessment: Your remedial massage therapist will discuss your concerns and check areas of tightness.
Application of Balm: A light myofascial balm is used to allow smooth, controlled pressure while still engaging the fascia effectively.
Gentle, Sustained Pressure: Instead of fast or forceful strokes, the therapist works slowly, allowing the fascia to release naturally.
Sensations During Treatment: Clients often experience sensations such as stretching, warmth, or a gradual release as tension eases.
Aftercare: You may feel lighter and freer in your movements. Mild soreness is possible as your body adjusts, similar to what you may experience after other forms of remedial massage.
