This is not your average massage. Fascial Release is an evidence-supported manual therapy that targets the connective tissue (fascia). The therapist focuses on contacting the layers of connective tissue through a slow, shearing, gripping touch — stimulating the fibroblasts and sensory/motor neurons — which improve tissue hydration, glide, viscosity, elasticity, plasticity, and increase collagen production. Working with this system aids to restore tissue alignment, vascular tension and fluid flow — overall reducing pain, and improve function long term. Combining Structural Integration, cranial techniques, visceral work, and trauma-informed care, this session is customized to your body’s unique patterns and needs. Whether you're healing from long standing mechanical issues, chronic pain, or just want to feel more in your body again — this is where deep change begins.
