Myofascial Release
This treatment is the stretching and releasing of contracted areas in the facial sheath that outlines every part of our body bringing blood and therefore more nutrients to the fascia.
Fascia is the very thin, strong layer of connective tissue that connects and holds our entire body together and does not ever separate. Therefore when the fascia is stressed in any one part of the body - it can affect many other parts of the body, even those that may seem entirely unrelated.
Tight fascia tends to pull on other parts of the body which can also affect postural alignment and balance in the body. If the fascia is tense and tight it can also make it difficult for hypertonic (tight) muscles to relax, even after massage because tight fascia can continue to clench, and therefore contract, the muscle it surrounds.
This treatment can also have a deeply intensive, emotional, and/or detoxifying affect on your body and whole being, therefore it is usually done in moderate amounts, especially during initial sessions, and can be a nice addition to a regular massage.
For this treatment you will be partially or fully undressed and draped with sheets for total privacy.
This treatment is done without using oil.
