Myofascial Massage

Myofascial Massage is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial Massage differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles rather than the muscle itself. Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body, imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your range of motion and comfort level. While other forms of massage can overlook the fascia, Myofascial Massage focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important membrane. This technique can be provided to you at no additional charge, and is included in any massage.

The massage techniques of Sports and Thai stretching can help golfers to enhance performance in activity, facilitate faster, more efficient recovery from activity, and reduce the risk of injury and accelerate recovery from an injury.
