Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release at HARA — biggest gift you can give to yourself

What is Fascia?
Fascia is like a body-wide web—a thin, elastic connective tissue that wraps around your muscles, bones, organs, and nerves. When life tightens it—through tension, injury, or stress—fascia can become less pliable and smooth, limiting movement and creating discomfort.

What Happens in Myofascial Release?
In our class, we apply slow, sustained pressure to those tight layers, helping the fascia soften and glide again. This process encourages deeper hydration in the tissue—our experts show that this kind of work improves microcirculation and tissue hydration, helping fascia return to its supple, healthy state.

Why It Matters for Your Body:‍

Studies show myofascial release can:

• Reduce stiffness and pain, restoring range of motion
• Improve movement efficiency by rebalancing tension across muscles
• Support coordination as the nervous system receives clearer signals from freer tissues
• Enhance tensegrity, meaning your body feels more supported and spring-like in every direction

Why It Matters for Your Mind:

‍Your fascia is richly innervated — meaning it’s closely linked to your nervous system. Emerging research shows that improving its elasticity can also improve mood and mental clarity. One study even found that a single session of self-myofascial release reduced negative bias in people with depression. Other research connects regular myofascial work with lower anxiety, better sleep, and a more grounded emotional state.
