Often paired with other techniques during a session, myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body.

Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct myofascial release is often performed without cream or oil, and produces a deep stretching sensation in the connective tissue that is retricting movement. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation, relief from pain, and allows for more freedom of movement.
