• Stretching
• Myofascial Therapy
  Through "myofascial spreading" or myofascial release, your therapist can release the adverse effects of inflammation, tension and trauma by carefully spreading apart sections or stretching of superficial fascia with either their palms, fingers, knuckles or the back of their fists. It is a slow, gentle and deep stretching or opening of your body's fascia – combined with your movement and breathing. This creates a heating effect (thixotropy) on the superficial layers of tissue, which allows your therapist to gradually affect deeper tissues.
