Frequently Asked Questions
What is fascia and why does it matter?
Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, organ, and structure in your body. When fascia becomes tight or restricted (from injury, poor posture, or chronic tension), it can cause pain and limit movement. Myofascial work releases these restrictions.
Is myofascial massage painful?
You may experience some discomfort when working on severe restrictions, but it should be therapeutic discomfort, not sharp pain. April works within your tolerance and communicates throughout the session. Many clients describe it as "hurts so good."
How is this different from regular deep tissue massage?
While both use deeper pressure, myofascial massage specifically targets the fascia and addresses compensation patterns throughout the entire body. April's approach is detailed and systematic, looking at how different areas affect each other rather than just working on isolated problem spots.
Should I get 60, 90, or 120 minutes?
60 minutes works well for maintenance or focusing on 1-2 specific areas. 90 minutes allows for full-body work with focus on problem areas. 120 minutes is ideal for complex cases, multiple issues, or when you haven't had bodywork in a while.
