Muscle Release Techniques is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscles of the neck and back and in the connective tissue, called fascia. It is called “deep tissue” massage because it is aimed at the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles, and will invariably work out hard knots or adhesions that exist in those muscles. This massage is great for people who sit or stand in one position all day or who engage in physical activity on a regular basis. Muscles tend to compensate for one another, which can create an imbalance in the muscular structure of the body.
