At Whidbey Massage Therapy, we offer specialized treatments designed to address the root causes of pain and tension. One of the most effective therapies we provide is Myofascial Release, a technique that targets restrictions in the fascia to relieve discomfort, improve mobility, and restore balance.

Marc Juneau, a licensed massage therapist, is skilled in applying myofascial release techniques to help clients achieve lasting relief from chronic pain, postural imbalances, and muscle tightness. Whether you're dealing with stress, recovering from an injury, or managing a chronic condition, myofascial release therapy can help you feel your best.

What Is Myofascial Release?

Myofascial release is a hands-on therapy that focuses on the fascia—a connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs. When the fascia becomes restricted due to injury, stress, or poor posture, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.

Through gentle, sustained pressure and stretching techniques, myofascial release works to:

  • Release tension and adhesions in the fascia.
  • Improve circulation and promote tissue healing.
  • Restore mobility and reduce pain.

Unlike traditional massage, myofascial release focuses on the entire body’s interconnected systems, ensuring a holistic approach to healing.

What to Expect During a Myofascial Release Session

When you book a myofascial release session with Marc, you can expect:

  1. Comprehensive Assessment
    • Marc will evaluate your posture, range of motion, and areas of tension to identify restrictions in your fascia.
  2. Targeted Hands-On Therapy
    • Using gentle, sustained pressure, Marc will work on the affected areas to release fascial restrictions. This process is slow and deliberate, allowing the fascia to relax and lengthen naturally.
  3. Holistic Approach
    • Marc will address the connections between muscles, joints, and fascia, ensuring that your entire body benefits from the therapy.
  4. Personalized Recommendations
    • Marc may provide stretches or self-care techniques to help maintain the benefits of your session and prevent future restrictions.
