What is Myofascial & Connective Tissue Massage?
Myofascial release (MFR) therapy focuses on releasing muscular shortness and tightness. There are a number of conditions and symptoms that myofascial release therapy addresses. Many patients seek myofascial treatment after losing flexibility or function following an injury or if experiencing ongoing back, shoulder, hip, or virtually pain in any area containing soft tissue. Connective tissue is the layer that fills the spaces between the muscles and skin. Consider it the ‘cement’ that connects and supports your organs, muscles and joints. Connective tissue is also responsible for the uptake and delivery of oxygen, for getting rid of toxins in wastes and for the thermal insulation of the body.
