Fascia is the tissue that connects the muscles and organs throughout the body. This massage involves releasing the connective fascial tissue.
The fascial tissue stores emotional physical and mental issues causing biochemical alterations. For example if you have a physical injury, the fascial tissue holds it deep into the body along the bone sheaths, tendons and ligaments, leading to limited movement, tightness and can produce scar tissue. Performing this type of massage, the fibrous fascia softens and better movement and muscle ability is restored.
It removes toxins in your tissues, mobilising blood flow to relax the muscles and surrounding tissues and reduce pain and inflammation. Massage techniques used are tracing the connective tissue and releasing the stress with various strokes pulling, compression/pounding, stretching, gliding, kneading rubbing and massaging the muscle tissues.
Your body will become more flexible and your pain will be reduced.
The best course of massage treatments is weekly for 1 - 2 months, depending on the severity of pain and tightness, then easing back to 2 weeks, then monthly maintenance massage treatments.
