unstructured pressure, tension, motion, or
vibration — manually or with mechanical aids — to the soft tissues of
the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments,
joints, lymphatic vessels, organs of the gastrointestinal system to
achieve a beneficial response. Massage Therapy is performed primarily by a
professional Massage Therapist but is often used as a form of therapy
by other Healthcare practitioners such as
Chiropractors,
Osteopaths and
Physical Therapists.

Myofascial Release refers to the manual technique for stretching the
fascia with the aim to balance the body. Injuries, stress, trauma, and
poor posture can cause restriction to fascia. The goal of myofascial
release is to release fascia restriction and restore its tissue.
