Myofascial tissues, are continuous and omnipresent in the body, and interweave and wrap muscles, and every division within the muscles. Where there is chronic or acute pain, limited or difficult range of motion, ongoing stress and tension, there may be myofascial tissue which needs to be released and relaxed. I will apply deep pressure over the length of a muscle or set of muscles, or a slow holding of the muscles while the muscles release. I will check in with you about pressure to ensure it is working for you. (This, along with all the work we do together, should feel good and build goodness in your system).
I will focus the myofascial release massage on areas that are “problematic” for you. This can free you from aching, limited range of motion and/or pain. Together we will discover the areas that will benefit from this deeper work.
Mostly you will keep your clothes on, with possible exception of socks.
We work with your awareness of your physiology in addition to my awareness and experience of tension patterns. In this way, it is easier to effect long term change, especially if there has been any trauma or old injuries in the area which is now causing pain. This can alleviate pain and discomfort and also expand your capacity for ongoingly feeling good.
