Myofascial Release
A hands-on technique for muscular and fascial tension
Myofascial release is a hands-on technique that may be incorporated into a remedial massage treatment to work with areas of muscular and fascial tension or soft-tissue restriction. It may support movement and mobility depending on the individual's presentation and response to treatment.
Book This TreatmentWhat Is Myofascial Release?
Fascia is a layer of connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles and other structures throughout the body. Myofascial release uses sustained, gentle-to-firm pressure applied to areas of muscular and fascial tension. Unlike deep tissue massage, myofascial release typically uses slower, more sustained pressure rather than forceful strokes. A light myofascial balm may be used to allow controlled, sustained contact with the tissue. As with all treatments at Sana, technique selection is guided by your individual assessment, presentation and treatment goals.

Who Is It For?
Myofascial release may be appropriate for clients experiencing muscular tension, restricted movement, or discomfort associated with physical activity, desk work, or postural concerns. It may also be incorporated into treatment for clients who prefer a less forceful approach or where assessment findings suggest it is appropriate. Your therapist will assess your presentation and discuss whether myofascial techniques are suitable for you.
What to Expect
Your therapist will discuss your concerns and assess relevant range of motion and movement before treatment begins. A light myofascial balm may be applied to allow sustained, controlled pressure. The technique uses slow, sustained pressure rather than fast or forceful strokes. You may notice sensations such as warmth or a gradual change in tissue tension during treatment. Some clients experience mild muscular tenderness following treatment, similar to other forms of remedial massage. Your therapist will discuss appropriate aftercare with you.
