What to Expect During Your Myofascial Release Session

Your appointment begins with a conversation about your areas of tension, activity or training schedule, preferred pressure and relevant health history.

Your therapist uses hands-on myofascial techniques, incorporating Graston instruments or Ashley Black tools when appropriate and with your agreement. Let your therapist know if you prefer hands-only bodywork.

Depending on your appointment length and priorities, your session can focus on specific areas or include broader bodywork. Pressure is adjusted to your comfort, and you can request a change of position, lighter pressure or a pause at any time.

Fascia is connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles and other structures throughout your body. Myofascial release is a bodywork approach that uses sustained pressure and slow, focused techniques to work with these tissues.

At Sanctuary Spa NYC, sessions combine hands-on myofascial bodywork with instrument-assisted techniques when appropriate. Your therapist adapts the approach to your areas of tension and comfort, whether you’re a runner, spend long hours at a desk or want focused attention to everyday tightness.
