Myofascial release massage at Andrea Massage and Spa is a gentle stretching technique applied to the fascia, the connective tissue that wraps and links the muscles, to relieve tension and improve mobility. Clients in Little Neck, Douglaston, Great Neck and Bayside book it when they feel tight and restricted in a way that regular stretching has not touched.
You will find us on Douglaston Parkway in Little Neck, NY. Your therapist opens each session by asking where you feel restricted, how it affects the way you move and what you would like to do more easily, then focuses the work on those areas. Google reviews describe the therapist as professional and highly recommend the massage.
Slow, Sustained Stretches That Let the Fascia Soften
Fascia responds to time and gentle, steady pressure. Using the hands and forearms with little or no oil, your therapist engages the tissue and holds a slow stretch until it begins to soften and lengthen, then moves to the next restricted area. The back, hips, neck and shoulders are common places to work. Pressure stays light to moderate, so the session suits clients who find deep tissue work too intense while still producing deep change.
