Fascia is the strong connective tissue that runs all throughout our bodies connecting the muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons together. A massage therapist who has specialized training in releasing and stripping this fascia is needed to bring the body back into alignment. This requires an unusually adept knowledge of human anatomy. Not all massage therapist are trained in these techniques. Chiropractors and physical therapist can help but until the fascia is stretched, stripped and elongated to accommodate your new implants, the muscles will continue to spasm. This leads to pain. Please don't let an orthopedic surgeon operate until you have tried the myofascial release. But warning, it won't be your typical fluff massage!
