Myofascial massage works with both the muscles and the connective tissue membrane which covers them (fascia). Damage to the fascia can result in it being stuck down to the underlying muscle. This affects the blood flow to the muscle and deprives it of necessary oxygen.

During myofascial massage my hands "listen" and the client's body gives clear signals as to what is needed and where. Pressure, warmth, breathing, stretching may all be utilized to release the stuck fascia.
