Connective Tissue Massage

Connective tissue massage refers to manipulation of the tissues that surround, protect, and support all structures in the body. Connective tissue is the matrix that connects the body's organs and systems, while at the same time separating them. Fascia, a specific type of connective tissue, provides a continuous sheath of structural support for the skeleton and soft tissues (muscles, tendons, etc.). The purpose of connective tissue massage is to restore length and flexibility to the fascia, normalizing the tissue and bringing greater health through the fascial network. By releasing restrictions within the myofascial network, connective tissue massage can provide relief from symptoms of disorders affecting the neuromusculoskeletal system. Connective tissue massage can reduce stress, relieve chronic tension, and improve flexibility and posture. Many athletes and dancers use this type of massage to enhance their performance. Connective tissue massage also can be helpful in preventing, and rehabilitating from, many types of injuries. This therapy may help to: Improve range and freedom of motion Relieve fascial strain and tension around joints Reduce structural compensations that might otherwise develop following trauma Minimize the body's vulnerability to future injury Increase energy and an enhance a sense of well-being Read more at www.altmeds.com
