Myofascial Release/Clinical Massage & Scar Tissue Therapy
Myofascial Release/Clinical Massage sessions for specific needs, or Fascial Flow for deep relaxation. These sessions use a variety of modalities tailored to your unique needs.
Is scar tissue holding you back?
As part of Structural Integration or Myofascial Release sessions we pay attention to scar tissue and its potential to cause restrictions in the fascial tissue, leading to reduced joint movement, weakened muscular strength and the emotional component of the experience. Scar Tissue Release can be booked as a separate treatment or as part of any Structural Bodywork sessions.
Fascia - connective tissue
Connective tissue (fascia) is a remarkably versatile bit of biology. It forms every supportive tissue from the fluid blood to the solid bone, and a host of sheets, straps, and slings in between. The muscular tissue moves us around, but it works through the connective tissue fascia, tendons and the ligaments at every turn, and it is the connective tissue complex that holds us in the shape we are in. When we are injured or stressed, no matter what the source, there is a neuromuscular response - usually involving some combination of contraction, retraction, immobility, and often rotation. These patterns put some muscles under strain (where they develop painful trigger points) and also pulls at this fascial fabric, requiring it to shift, thicken, glue itself to surrounding structures, and otherwise compensate for the excess sustained muscular holding.
