Myofascial Release - Myofascial Release is a technique that reduces tension of the fascia-the connective tissue of the body. This tissue overlies muscles, bones nerves and organs. Tight fascia restricts blood flow and movement and will cause pain. As the fascia loosens, it allows the therapist to better reach underlying muscles. The result is more fluid movement and increase range of motion. Trigger Point Therapy - A trigger point is an area of a muscle that when compresses produces pain or other neurological sensations either within the area touched or another area of the body. A trigger point can be caused from injury, poor posture, repetitive motion or emotional stress. When releasing the muscle of its tension, the client's comfort level is always address; feedback between the therapist and client is essential. Because this type of massage deals with specific muscles in detail, it is not an overall body massage. The intention is to interrupt the pain cycle in a particular area of the body. The client often learns how one part of the body may be affecting another part even though it seems unrelated. "Touch was never meant to be a luxury. It is an action that validates life and gives hope to both the reciever and the giver. The healing of touch is reciprocal."
