"How is Myofascial release different to sports massage?"

There are several differences in these treatments. Perhaps the most obvious differences revolve around the types of tissue you are targeting with each treatment. Myofascia is the body’s connective tissue and whilst it has different layers it still, in principle works on more superficial tissue than the deeper tissue targeted with a sports massage. A sports massage tends to be a little faster paced and strong with powerful manual work, whereas Myofascial release focuses on the long, slow, sustained stretching of the target tissue.

"When should I get this treatment?"

Myofascial release is something that can be used to target a specific issue and used as needed. However, I have clients who use regular myofascial release sessions as part of their training and recovery. So if you are wondering if its right for you, come in and try it and we can decide what is best together.

"How long should a session be?"

Similar to a Sports massage this too can vary depending on the size of the area, that needs to be worked into. If you after a whole-body treatment, then 60-90 minutes would be my prescription, especially in the first session where you should have your initial body assessment. If it is for a more specific area or an injury to an isolated area, then again 45-60 minutes is ideal.

"What do I wear?"

Ideally, the areas which need to be worked on will be exposed and your modesty protected by a towel. If you are not comfortable with this, then wear loose comfy clothing, which your therapist can easily move to get to the target tissue
