Myofascial Release Therapy
Specialised fascial therapy for deep-seated tension and pain
What is Myofascial Release Therapy?
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a specialised manual therapy technique that focuses on the fascia — the connective tissue network that surrounds every muscle, bone, and organ in your body. When fascia becomes restricted due to injury, inflammation, or postural habits, it can create pain and dysfunction far from the original site. As an osteopath trained in myofascial techniques, Marta uses sustained, gentle pressure to release these restrictions and restore tissue elasticity.
How Does It Work?
Unlike massage that focuses on muscles, MFR works with the fascial system through slow, sustained holds lasting 90-120 seconds or longer. This allows the tissue to soften, elongate, and release. Marta uses her clinical assessment skills to identify fascial restrictions and their connection to your symptoms, creating a targeted treatment approach that addresses the whole fascial chain, not just isolated areas.
Benefits
Who Is It For?
MFR is excellent for anyone experiencing chronic pain that hasn't responded to conventional massage, those with fibromyalgia, TMJ disorders, headaches, post-surgical restrictions, or anyone feeling 'stuck' in their body. It's a gentle yet profoundly effective technique.
