An alternative to deep tissue massage, Myofascial Release Massage (MRM) is growing in popularity among those experiencing recurring pain, chronic fatigue, tension and anxiety.
Myofascial Massage is completed through the stretching, loosening and lengthening of muscles, rather than the traditional application of pressure and manipulation to an area. Problem areas are identified through traditional massage, and then the therapist uses a technique of focused stretching, application of pressure to strained areas and pressure points, as well as lymphatic drainage maneuvers which stimulate the lymph system.
This approach separates and releases layers of fascia (the layer of fibrous connective tissue surrounding the muscle), which become dehydrated or damaged due to physical or emotional trauma.
The results can lead to a reduction in pain, improved mood, lower heart rate, reduced blood pressure and lower cortisol levels.
