Myofascial Release
at Motion Pro Health
Burnaby Metrotown & Coquitlam Square
Myofascial release is a gentle, specialized hands-on technique used to address tension in the body’s connective tissue, known as fascia. Fascia surrounds and supports muscles, joints, and organs. When it becomes tight or restricted—whether from stress, posture, injury, or repetitive movement—it can limit mobility and contribute to ongoing discomfort.
At Motion Pro Health, our Registered Massage Therapists use slow, sustained pressure to help release these restrictions, restore soft-tissue mobility, and create a sense of ease throughout the body. Unlike traditional massage that focuses primarily on muscle tissue, myofascial release targets the deeper, interconnected fascial system, making it effective for long-standing tension or chronic tightness that does not respond well to stretching alone.
How Myofascial Release Can Help
Many people experience fascial tension without realizing it. Restrictions in the fascia can contribute to stiffness, limited movement, and discomfort that seems to “travel” or radiate. Myofascial release works to gently lengthen and soften these tissues, allowing the body to move with greater freedom.
Clients often notice:
- Improved mobility as tight fascia becomes more flexible
- Reduced muscle stiffness in areas that previously felt “locked up”
- Better circulation and tissue hydration
- Relief from chronic or recurring pain patterns
- Enhanced flexibility and fluid movement
- A general sense of relaxation and lightness throughout the body
Myofascial release is especially helpful for people who experience chronic muscular tension, desk-related strain, athletic overuse, postural imbalances, or tightness that keeps returning despite stretching or exercise.
A Calm, Gentle Technique
Unlike deep tissue massage, myofascial release does not rely on heavy pressure. Instead, your therapist uses slow, steady, sustained techniques that allow the fascia to gradually soften and release. This approach is often described as deeply relaxing and restorative, while still producing meaningful changes in mobility and comfort.
Your therapist may combine myofascial release with other supportive techniques such as Swedish massage, deep tissue work, trigger point release, or stretching, based on your needs and preferences.
