Myofascial Release is excellent for reducing pain and limited mobility. I specialize in John Barnes Myofascial Release techniques to restore fascia to its naturally flexible state through gentle, three dimensional stretches that are held for an extended period of time. A fascial restriction in one location can cause symptoms in another, seemingly unrelated, area and as a result, treatment may be required both near and away from an area of complaint. During treatment the tension or "pull" of a fascial restriction may be felt deep within the body or far from the area being treated.  When tissue releases or "unwinds" the client may feel the need to move as the fascia restores to a healthy, functional state.  As the client becomes aware of long held bracing patterns in their body, it created the opportunity to soften and let go of the tension for lasting change.  Myofascial Release can provide a unique opportunity to increase both physical and emotional health. 

Targeted muscle work and additional therapeutic massage techniques may be incorporated into the treatment as appropriate depending on session goals.

*Clients are asked to wear exercise shorts and a tank top or undergarments for treatment to allow for comfortable movement as needed.
