Myofascial Release

Gentle therapy to alleviate muscle tightness.

Addressing fascial restrictions to relieve pain.

What is Myofascial Release?

Myofascial release is a specialised manual therapy focusing on relieving tension in the fascia—the connective tissue encasing muscles and organs. By applying gentle, sustained pressure to areas of tightness, this technique aims to restore movement and alleviate discomfort. It's particularly beneficial for conditions like myofascial pain syndrome, where sensitive areas in the fascia cause chronic pain.
