Fascia is a casing of connective tissue that surrounds your entire musculoskeletal structure and also dives deep to hold every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. In addition to supporting your structure, the fascia has nerves that make it alive during movement and very sensitive. When healthy, it stretches and retracts when you move, allowing freedom of movement. When stressed, it tightens up and creates pain.

Trigger points are areas of extreme sensitivity in the muscle and fascia and are often related to poor blood flow. These points may refer pain to other areas when pressed. They can be found in knots in the muscles and fascia as well as adhesions, and may cause limited range of motion.

Deep tissue therapy is a manual technique that treats muscle pain and stiffness while also improving mental health. With constant and deep pressure, deep tissue strokes release the inner layers of your muscles and fascia.

Myofascial release therapy targets stiffness in fascia and muscle with stretching strokes. These strokes result in warmed tissue for improved flexibility.

In dynamic cupping, the therapist moves cups over your fascia, allowing the suction to loosen stiffness, reduce pain, and increase blood and lymph flow. Many clients feel a relaxation effect after the treatment. Because of the suction, clients will have red marks on their skin after the session. These marks may not look like traditional cupping marks. The marks can remain for a few days, leaving the skin sensitive to touch.
