Myofascial release is a form of pressure massage that helps to break down ‘sticky’ fascia and tension in muscles which improves the body's range of motion, injuries, scar tissues, tension, muscle recovery and function, connect you with your body and help you to de-stress, and to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes recovery, relaxation, sleep and digestion.
