Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is a style of massage that is powerfully effective at eliminating the deeply held tightness and tension that are at the root of many physical symptoms, like pain, stiffness, and dis-function.

“Heal: to make sound or whole; to restore to health.”-Merriam-Webster Dictionary

The relationship between your body and your mind is a continuous one. How we feel about ourselves and the world affects our posture and vice versa. By influencing one, we influence the other. Myofascial Release will relax, balance, and align your physical body, and also allow you to become more aware of this dynamic relationship between your mind and body.

Myofascial Release is an opportunity to truly heal and reclaim a sense of health and wholeness.

Myofascial Release

An effective treatment for soft tissue disorders.

Bodywork is effective to the degree that it successfully communicates or “talks” to the nervous system. It is the nervous system that allows for tension and tightness in the tissues, and without participation from the nervous system, that tension will not be released.

By working gently AND deeply at the same time, MFR gives the nervous system time to make the necessary changes to the tension in the soft tissues that can cause myriad symptoms of pain and discomfort.

There are essentially two categories of myofascial release techniques: Direct and Indirect. I use both.

Direct Myofascial Release is more like a very slow and deep tissue massage. By working slowly, without oil, the nervous system has a chance to create change in the soft tissue (skin, muscle, fascia, tendon, nerve).

Indirect Myofascial Release uses specific holds and gentle stretches to allow tension patterns to fully and completely release and unwind, leaving the client with a body that feels lighter and moves in a more fluid, easy way.

In most sessions both techniques are used, depending on the nature of the condition and the areas that are being worked.

The 10 Session Series:

A Systematic Approach to Myofascial Release

This is the ultimate massage and bodywork experience if you are looking to balance your posture and recover a feeling of body integration and alignment. Based on the work of Ida Rolf, Ph.D, the 10 Session Series is a tried and true systematic process to realigning your body with the flow of gravity and correct poor posture. For many clients this process can become a personal adventure of transformation, as they return to an experience of being comfortable and at ease in their body again.
