Myofascial release is a therapeutic massage technique that focuses on relieving muscular shortness and tightness. It targets the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and joints—to release the tension and restrictions within this tissue layer. The technique involves applying gentle, sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue to eliminate pain and restore motion. This form of massage can help with reducing inflammation, increasing range of motion, and improving circulation throughout the body.
