Shortened muscles
Chronically shortened muscles are tense and tight. Therapeutic massage releases adhesions that form in tight muscles, helping to restore range of motion.

Not only does a tight muscle hurt, it can cause pain in other muscles, too. Therapeutic massage finds the source of the pain and releases it.
Tight muscles press on the nerves that run through them, which can interfere with the free flow of nerve signals and cause pain. Therapeutic massage relaxes muscles and relieves pressure on nerves.
Fascia (connective tissue) surrounding muscles becomes damaged due to inactivity or repetitive motion strain. Therapeutic massage provides appropriate stimulation of the fascia, realigning the fibers and restoring flexibility.
