A gentle blend of stretching and massage using no oil, Myofascial Release is a relatively slow and and often times non-invasive therapy. It involves sustained pressure to the affected tissue and is beneficial in large part because, by not using oils or cream, a “shearing” effect occurs which allows the tissue to move and slide better.

​

Myofascial release is often a central component of On Your Mark’s medical massage treatments. It helps relax and warm up tissue, relax the nervous system and prepare the body for deeper treatments. We incorporate this modality as needed based on your goals, issues and preferences.
