Deep Fascial Release was invented by J.CARE Director Takayuki Tsuchikawa to be more effective for a wide variety of athletes in Toronto.
After moving to Toronto, he convinced “Manual Medicine” including ASTR (Active Soft Tissue Release) that he brought from Tokyo were effective for people in Toronto as well.
On the other hand, he realized that his skills were not sufficient for particular athletes who have special soft tissue structures of highly flexible athletes such as figure skaters, ballerinas and advanced Ashtanga yoga teachers whom he had many opportunities to treat since that time.
In order to achieve greater precision, Deep Fascial Release is an approach that was created by improving the precision of the FIVE skills.
- Skill 1: Soft tissues monitoring
- Skill 2: Removal of slack skins
- Skill 3: Reaching deep tissues without using own body weight and without compressing the superficial muscles
- Skill 4: Capture the muscle core
- Skill 5: Capture and release targeted tissues that is contracting and adhering
Finding muscles stiffened by overuse due to sports, or shortened and adhered muscles and fascia due to long hours at the desk, we restore the original function and improve pain from fundamental aspects by improving to glide/mobilize horizontally toward between the tissues.
We use unique artisanal skills to precisely capture the core of deep muscles and fascia that cannot be contacted by general massage or stretching, and safely loosen them from the depths without compressing the superficial muscles. You will feel the difference right away once you are contacted by the deep trigger point as a new experience for you.
It can be beneficial for recovery for athletes and active people, as well as for those who are too busy to exercise, or for pain prevention and maintenance
