Myofascial Release Therapy
Restore natural movement through focused fascial work
Myofascial release therapy is a hands‑on approach designed to ease pain and improve mobility by working on the network of tissue that surrounds your muscles and joints. Inside your body lies a web of connective tissue that wraps around your muscles, bones, nerves and organs. Our therapists find those tight spots and use gentle, sustained pressure to coax the tissue into relaxing. Juniper Registered Massage Therapy offers this specialized service in Richmond, helping you regain comfort, flexibility and a greater sense of well‑being.

What Are The Myofascial Massage Techniques?
Direct Myofascial Release
Clinician applies slow, sustained load to a palpable fascial restriction to induce tissue creep. Controlled pressure reorganizes collagen in the thoracolumbar fascia/IT band and restores slide-and-glide for pain-free motion.
Indirect Myofascial Release (Unwinding)
Registered massage therapist follows the path of least resistance while holding the tissue at ease. Gentle waiting allows viscoelastic recoil in the paraspinals, cervical fascia, and diaphragm to normalize tension lines and down-regulate nociception.
Cross-Hand Fascial Stretch
Therapist places hands in opposing vectors and gradually separates to lengthen longitudinal and transverse planes. Progressive stretch decompresses layered fascia around the scapular girdle and hip capsule, improving regional ROM and coordination.
Superficial Fascial Gliding (Skin Rolling)
Clinician lifts and rolls the skin to mobilize the superficial fascia over subcutaneous tissue. Light shear desensitizes cutaneous mechanoreceptors and improves glide across the quadriceps sleeve, forearm fascia, and lateral thigh.
Transverse Fascial Shear (Cross-Plane Release)
Therapist anchors the tissue and applies a slow lateral drag perpendicular to fiber orientation. Sustained shear breaks maladaptive cross-links, hydrates ground substance, and restores multidirectional movement in the plantar fascia, retinacula, and iliac crest attachments.

Jean is amazing! I am so thankful for her. She saves my neck, back, and shoulders on the regular. Came in with a migraine today and after seeing her, it’s gone. The needling helped so much with the tension and stiffness. Savior!!!

I just had a very relaxing perinatal massage treatment at Juniper from Dabin. She is knowledgeable, professional, and super friendly. She made me feel comfortable and relieved so much of the tension in all areas of my body from my pregnancy. I have booked 3 more back to back upcoming sessions and cant wait to return!
