What is Myofascial Tissue?
Myofascial tissue is a type of thin, strong, fibrous connective tissue, that extends throughout your body to provide support and protection to your muscles and bones.

Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain condition, that tends to result from stress and repetitive movements of a particular muscle. It is a deep muscle ache or muscle pain that doesn't go away with rest and can actually feel worse as time goes on. The characteristic sign of this condition is referred to as a trigger point. These are tough nodules of tissue located deep within the muscle.

Myofascial pain refers to pain caused by muscular irritation. For example, the upper back and shoulder muscles are prone to developing myofascial pain, which radiates from sensitive trigger points. Muscular irritation and upper back pain is often due to muscle tension, poor posture or repetitive motions.
Treatment process
Myofascial Massage Therapy incorporates deep tissue massage and manipulative techniques to alleviate muscle spasms, trigger points and tender spots, which can create radiating pain in the surrounding tissue or referred pain to other areas of the body.
