read moreMyofascial Release technique is a very effective hands-on therapy that has been successfully used for over a hundred years to treat recurring injuries and pain. The treatment is not a massage, but a specialist therapy used to equalize muscle tension throughout the body. It decompresses nerves and muscles which are causing pain by releasing constrictions within the fascia network of the body. Myofascia is the connective tissue within our bodies; it is a thin and continuous fibrous network made up of collagen, elastin and viscous fluid which covers, surrounds and supports all of the muscles, organs, bones, veins and nerves throughout the whole body, from head to toe.

Massage therapy and chiropractic are complementary to one another as chiropractic aids the restoration of normal joint mobility and function and massage therapy restores balance to the surrounding muscles. Many of our patients benefit from combining massage therapy with their chiropractic care. However, massage therapy is also effective when used alone.
