Myofascial massage is a massage technique that targets not the muscles, but the fascia surrounding the muscles. The special feature of this method is that it can achieve complete relaxation of one or a group of muscles that are in a state of spasm (tightness, tension). Superficial or subcutaneous fascia lies beneath the layer of subcutaneous fat and it is these fascial layers that are targeted during the massage.
Who needs and why is myofascial massage necessary?
This type of massage helps alleviate myofascial pain syndrome, which manifests as muscle spasms. Excessive stress on muscle tissue leads to significant tension and activation of trigger points. The causes can range from direct muscle impact to overstretching.
However, myofascial massage is not only indicated for injuries—it is beneficial for anyone who engages in regular physical activity to enhance muscle function more effectively.
