Myofascial Treatments

Nartana Massage Therapy Vancouver treatments that incorporate fascial work have a profound effect on the body. Fascia is a spider web-like layer of fibrous tissue that permeates the entire human body. Also called connective tissue, fascia surrounds every structure in the body: every muscle, organ, bone and blood vessel. Because of this tissue’s connective nature, Fascia Treatments can sometimes feel like “magic.” One area of the body is treated, and another area—connected to the same fascia line—is affected.

4 main goals for each treatment:

  • Address areas of concern, decreasing pain or discomfort
  • Increase mobility
  • Decrease constriction and tension
  • Balance and soothe the nervous system, decreasing stress and increasing energy

What to expect from your treatment:

You’ll be asked to describe areas of concern or interest, and let your therapist know about any new developments in your physical condition. We’ll work on treating those areas and addressing any new concerns, while decreasing stress and enhancing your overall health and vitality.

For example: A client with a 20-year-old shoulder injury experienced not only a marked increase in shoulder mobility, but also a dramatic release of tension throughout the low back and hips plus an overall feeling of vibrant energy and vitality.

“Had the most incredible massage ever yesterday. Fascial work on my surgically repaired shoulder led to an overwhelming feeling of euphoria! Dawn Leonard, you are amazing!”
