MYOFASCIAL TISSUE RELEASE THERAPY FAQ’S

  • Myofascial tissue release, also known as deep tissue massage, can be compared to a style of treatment called “Active Release”. This involves targeted techniques to address deep layers of muscle and connective tissue. It focuses on releasing chronic tension and promoting overall muscle health by combining massage techniques with client assisted movement.

    You are an active participant in the treatment and your practitioner will be sure to communicate each portion of the treatment with you.

  • Due to the intensity of this form of treatment, pain is often present. However, our skilled kinesiologists ensure that the pressure applied is within your comfort level.

    Communication and breathing during the session is key, allowing adjustments to be made for an optimal experience.

  • Designed with athletes and active individuals in mind, Tissue Release Therapy is an essential treatment for those pushing their physical limits. Repetitive stress and injuries can lead to scar tissue, restricting movement and impacting performance.

    Our therapy not only improves mobility and flexibility but also helps in maintaining peak physical condition.

    Whether you’re a competitive athlete or simply enjoy an active lifestyle, integrating Tissue Release into your regimen can significantly prevent injury and boost your physical prowess.

  • The frequency depends on individual needs and goals. Initially, more frequent sessions may be recommended, followed by maintenance sessions. Your therapist will guide you based on your unique situation.
