What is myofascial release?

Myofascial release is a form of massage therapy focusing on the whole-body fascial system – the fluid connective tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs. Myofascial release uses gentle sustained pressure with the aim to release tightness and relieve pressure and tension. Getting a myofascial release session at Myofascial Release Studio can help you relax, reduce stress, improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and boost your overall well-being.
