What is Myofascial Release Therapy?
Myofascial Release Therapy is a gentle, hands-on treatment that works with the body's fascia the connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, joint, organ and nerve. When fascia becomes tight or restricted through injury, surgery, repetitive movement, stress or poor posture, it can create pain and movement restrictions throughout the body.
Unlike deep tissue massage, myofascial release uses slow, sustained pressure and a highly tuned "listening touch" to encourage the tissues to soften naturally. Rather than forcing muscles to relax, we work with your body's connective tissue to restore balance, improve mobility and reduce pain.
Having trained in Advanced Myofascial Release at the Jing Institute, my approach blends Eastern and Western techniques and draws on the pioneering work of Ida Rolf, John F. Barnes and Thomas Myers. Every treatment is tailored to your body, helping you move more freely while supporting your nervous system to shift into a calmer, more restorative state.
Your 60 or 90 minute appointment includes a detailed assessment, gentle myofascial techniques, movement assessment where appropriate, and personalised aftercare to help you maintain your progress between sessions.
We often recommend a course of 4–6 treatments for persistent pain or long-standing fascial restrictions to achieve lasting results.
