The indirect myofascial release method involves a gentle stretch, with only a few grams of pressure, which allows the fascia to 'unwind' itself.

The gentle traction applied to the restricted fascia will result in heat and increased blood flow in the area.

The direct myofascial release (or deep tissue work) method works on the restricted fascia. Practitioners use knuckles, elbows, or other tools to slowly stretch the restricted fascia by applying a force.

Direct myofascial release seeks for changes in the myofascial structures by stretching, elongation of fascia, or mobilizing adhesive tissues.
