We offer Myofascial Release therapy to address restrictions in fascia, the connective tissue that supports and protects structures throughout the body, including muscles. In its healthy state, fascia allows smooth movement and provides essential support. However, it can become tight or restricted due to overuse, trauma, infection, or inactivity, leading to pain, muscle tension, and reduced blood flow. Myofascial release targets these areas to restore flexibility and relieve discomfort by gently releasing tension in the fascia and surrounding tissues.

Our Approaches to Myofascial Release

Direct Myofascial Release: This technique focuses on stretching the restricted fascia using deeper pressure through tools such as knuckles, elbows, or hands. By slowly moving through the layers of fascia, our practitioners work to release adhesions, elongate the fascia, and restore mobility within the deeper layers of tissue.

Indirect Myofascial Release: A gentle, low-pressure method that allows fascia to “unwind” naturally. Light traction applied to the restricted area encourages increased blood flow and warmth, activating the body’s natural healing process to reduce pain and enhance performance.

Through our personalized myofascial release therapy, we aim to restore movement, relieve pain, and help you achieve optimal body function. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or simply seeking relief from tension, Calgary Wellness Group is here to support your journey to better health.
