What is Myofascial Release & Deep Soft Tissue Therapy?

At Wake Medical Massage, LLC, we use advanced manual therapy to target the fascia (the connective tissue around muscles) and deeper layers of soft tissue.

  • Myofascial Release (MFR): Gentle, sustained pressure to ease tight fascia, restore movement, and reduce chronic tension.
  • Deep Soft Tissue Therapy: Focused work on deeper muscle layers and trigger points to break up adhesions, improve circulation, and relieve “muscle knots.”

These treatments are non-invasive, drug-free, and tailored to your body’s needs.

We Accept Cash, Debit/Credit Cards, Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA), and FLEX . . .

What to Expect During Your Session

  • Assessment

We’ll talk about your pain, stiffness, or movement limitations, then evaluate posture, muscle tone, and areas of restriction.

  • Customized Plan

Based on your goals, we’ll design a treatment to restore flexibility, reduce pain, and help you move more freely.

  • Hands-on Therapy

Gentle, sustained pressure into affected connective tissue and deeper soft tissue work, focusing on the problem areas (neck, shoulders, low back, etc.).

  • Aftercare

Suggestions for stretches, hydration, posture habits, and follow-up visits so you continue healing between sessions.

FAQs 

  • Q: How is John F. Barnes Myofascial Release different from regular massage?

A: It focuses on fascia, the connective tissue system, and uses gentle, sustained pressure for several minutes to release restrictions — creating deeper, longer-lasting results than traditional massage.

  • Q: What does fascia do in the body?

A: Fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ. Restrictions in one area can create pain or dysfunction elsewhere in the body.

  • Q: Will myofascial release be painful?

A: Sessions are customized to your comfort. Pressure is firm but gentle — enough to release restrictions without forcing the tissue.

  • Q: How many sessions will I need?

A: Some clients feel improvement after one session, but chronic or long-standing conditions often respond best to a series of treatments.
