Here's the difference:

Traditional Massage: This classic method focuses on overall relaxation through various techniques, such as long strokes and gentle stretches.

Myofascial Release: It's a therapeutic technique targeting fascia, relieving chronic pain and tightness with slow, sustained pressure and stretching.

Key Differences:

1. Focus: While Traditional Massage provides general relaxation and muscle tension relief, Myofascial Release concentrates on resolving fascial restrictions and alleviating chronic pain.

2. Techniques: Traditional Massage utilizes a diverse set of techniques, including long strokes and kneading, while Myofascial Release relies on sustained pressure and stretching to target fascial restrictions.

3. Intensity: Myofascial Release can be more intense, involving the application of pressure to specific trigger points or areas of fascial tension.

4. Goals: Traditional Massage aims at relaxation, Myofascial Release aims at pain relief.

Choosing the Right Approach:

For relaxation, go with Traditional Massage. For chronic pain or fascial issues, opt for Myofascial Release. Combining both can offer a holistic approach to wellness. Consult with a qualified therapist for personalized advice. Both modalities have valuable benefits for your well-being.

Begin by laying face down. Tighten your abdominal muscles and your glutes (buttocks), then prop up SLOWLY onto your forearms. There should be some pressure in the low back or mild discomfort. There should not be any sharp pain. Stay on forearms and do not attempt to lift elbows as pictured in the bottom image.

Hold any from 3-10 secs. Repeat 3-5x’s at first. Slowly work your way up to 10x’s.

You can progress to the bottom image once there is no discomfort at all with being on your forearms. In the bottom image press up putting your weight through you index fingers. Lift your elbows up, but keep elbows in tight at your side as if there is a ball between your elbows and you are trying to squeeze it.
