Understanding Myofascial Release vs. Traditional Massage
When booking a mobile massage in Beverly Hills or Los Angeles, choosing the right style of treatment makes all the difference. Two of my most requested services—myofascial release and traditional massage—offer unique benefits that cater to different needs.
What Is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial release focuses on the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles and joints.
Uses slow, sustained pressure to release tight fascia and improve mobility
Helps relieve chronic pain, postural issues, and limited range of motion
Ideal for clients recovering from injuries or repetitive strain
Because it requires precision and patience, I recommend 90-minute or 2-hour sessions to address deeper restrictions and deliver lasting results.
What Is Traditional Massage?
Traditional massage typically includes Swedish and Deep Tissue techniques.
Swedish massage: long, flowing strokes that promote relaxation and improve circulation
Deep tissue massage: firmer pressure to target muscle knots and tension
Great for clients who want a full-body reset, stress relief, or general maintenance
Key Differences: Myofascial Release vs. Traditional Massage
While both styles are therapeutic, their focus is different. Myofascial release targets the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and joints—using slow, sustained pressure to gradually release restrictions and improve mobility. In contrast, traditional massage, such as Swedish or Deep Tissue, focuses mainly on the muscles themselves, using long flowing strokes or firmer pressure to relieve knots, tension, and stress. Myofascial work is ideal for chronic pain, posture issues, and injury recovery, while traditional massage is better suited for general relaxation and easing day-to-day muscle soreness.
