During an MFR session, the practitioner applies sustained, gentle pressure or slow stretching to specific areas of tension (called restrictions). Unlike traditional massage, which focuses on muscles, MFR targets the fascial network, waiting for the tissue to naturally soften and release rather than forcing it.
Clients often describe the experience as:
-
A deep, melting sensation rather than a “massage rub”
-
A feeling of release or unwinding
-
Warmth or subtle movement under the skin
Sessions are typically slow-paced and intuitive, allowing the practitioner to follow the body’s natural response.
Benefits:
-
Reduces chronic pain (neck, back, shoulders, hips, etc.)
-
Improves flexibility and posture
-
Eases headaches and TMJ tension
-
Aids recovery after injuries or surgeries
-
Supports emotional release — since fascia holds tension and stress patterns
-
Enhances overall body awareness and relaxation
In Summary
Myofascial Release is more than a massage — it’s a therapeutic process that helps the body self-correct, restoring natural movement, fluidity, and balance from the inside out.
