Myofascial Release Therapy in Kirkland, WA – Restore Mobility at Peony Massage
At Peony Massage in Juanita, our myofascial release therapy targets fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles—to help relieve chronic pain, improve movement, and break up adhesions. This gentle yet powerful technique is ideal for clients in Kirkland looking to heal stubborn stiffness that standard massage hasn't fixed.
What Is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial release involves applying gentle, sustained pressure into restricted areas of connective tissue (fascia). Unlike deep tissue massage, which uses gliding strokes, your therapist slowly stretches and unwinds tight areas, encouraging the body's natural ability to release tension and restore motion.

This therapy is a game-changer for clients in Totem Lake and Bothell dealing with:
Chronic pain or stiffness without a clear injury cause.
Fibromyalgia or chronic inflammation.
Postural imbalances or limited range of motion from old injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1:Does myofascial release hurt?
generally no. It is a gentle, slow therapy. You may feel a sensation of "stretching" or "melting" as the tissue releases, but it should not be painful.
Question 2:What’s the difference between this and deep tissue?
Deep Tissue uses oil and gliding strokes to work out muscle knots. Myofascial Release uses no oil and sustained, static pressure to stretch the connective tissue around the muscle.
Question 3:Can this help with fibromyalgia?
Yes. Because it is gentle and does not force the muscles, it is often one of the few therapies that provides relief for Fibromyalgia sensitivity without causing a flare-up.
Question 4:How long is a typical session?
We recommend 60 minutes. Since the technique requires holding stretches for 3-5 minutes each, a full hour allows us to properly treat multiple areas of restriction.
