About the Treatment

Myofascial Massage

Myofascial massage is a manual therapy technique that targets the body's supportive tissue located between muscles. This specialized massage is designed to release tension and muscle knots, often serving as a complementary treatment for anti-inflammatory therapies of the musculoskeletal system.

Benefits of Myofascial Massage

This deep massage technique offers several advantages:

1. Increased oxygenation to the treated area

2. Improved posture

3. Enhanced microcirculation and overall circulation

Patients often experience immediate benefits, feeling relief even during the session under the therapist's hands. The massage employs specific maneuvers, including:

• Delineation: vertical pressures along the entire muscle perimeter

• Detachment: transverse action to laterally move the muscle

• Kneading: working the fleshy mass with thumbs and index fingers from bottom to top

The Myofascial Massage Session

As treatment progresses, the intensity of the maneuvers and the duration of each session typically increase. This specialized massage technique emphasizes the connection between the therapist and the recipient, incorporating synchronized breathing. During inhalation, muscle tension increases, particularly in the trunk area. Exhalation leads to the relaxation of muscles and ligaments, making them soft and pliable. The therapist guides the patient to maintain a slow, regular breathing rhythm, counting to 5 between inhalation and exhalation. This allows the therapist to apply pressure during exhalation and release during inhalation, optimizing the effectiveness of the treatment.
