Myofascial Release

Specialized myofascial release therapy for chronic pain, mobility issues, and fascial restrictions. Gentle, hands-on treatment combining trigger point work and energy healing to restore movement and reduce tension.

The Science of Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is a specialized hands-on therapy that targets restrictions in your fascia - the tough connective tissue that wraps around every muscle, organ, and structure in your body like a web. When this tissue becomes tight, stuck, or restricted, it can cause pain, limit movement, and create dysfunction throughout your entire body.

Your Fascial Network: The Body's Hidden System

Your fascia forms one continuous network throughout your body. When one area becomes restricted, it creates tension patterns that can affect distant areas. For example, tight fascia in your hip might contribute to shoulder pain or headaches.

During treatment, I use my hands and intuitive sensitivity to locate areas where your fascia feels stuck or restricted. Through sustained gentle pressure, targeted trigger point work, and directed energy, I help release these restrictions. This allows your tissues to soften, lengthen, and return to their natural state of balance.

My Comprehensive Fascial Approach

What sets my myofascial work apart is how I combine multiple techniques:

  • Sustained fascial stretching - holding gentle pressure to allow tissue release
  • Precision trigger point work - targeting specific knots and tension spots
  • Craniosacral integration - working with your body's natural rhythms
  • Energetic bodywork - addressing what you might be holding onto emotionally
  • Somatic body awareness - helping you reconnect with your physical self

Fascia: Where Physical Meets Emotional

Fascia doesn't just hold physical tension - it also stores emotional experiences and trauma. During sessions, it's common for emotions or memories to surface as restrictions release. This is a natural part of healing. I provide a secure, supportive environment where whatever arises can be processed and integrated safely.

Many clients report feeling more centered, embodied, and "back into themselves" after sessions - experiencing relief not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well.

The Treatment Experience

Sessions use a focused yet gentle approach. Unlike aggressive manipulation, myofascial release works with your body's natural pace of change. The work is done through comfortable clothing, and pressure is carefully adjusted to what your tissues can handle.

I combine hands-on techniques with energetic work, paying attention to both what I feel in your tissues and what your nervous system is communicating. This intuitive approach allows me to find and address the root patterns causing your symptoms.

  • Have tried other treatments without lasting relief
