Myofascial Release
Restore Movement & Ease Pain Naturally
What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a gentle yet transformative hands-on therapy that works with your body’s connective tissue (fascia) to release tension, improve mobility, and alleviate chronic pain.
Imagine fascia as a web-like structure that wraps around every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ.
When this tissue becomes tight or restricted—due to injury, stress, surgery, or repetitive strain—it can pull the body out of alignment, leading to pain, stiffness, and even referred discomfort in unexpected areas.
Unlike conventional deep-tissue massage, MFR uses slow, sustained pressure to encourage the fascia to "unwind," restoring balance and freedom of movement without force. Kinesiology tape may be applied at Tomoko’s discretion.
How Can Myofascial Release Help You?
Tomoko uses myofascial release to support a wide range of conditions, including:
✔ Chronic Pain & Injuries
Back/neck pain (including whiplash, disc problems, and scoliosis)
Frozen shoulder, arthritis, and joint stiffness
Pelvic pain (linked to tension, surgery, or scar tissue)
Carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive strain injuries
✔ Stress & Nervous System Support
Physical and psychological stress (fascia tightens under emotional strain!)
Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (gentle release for overstimulated tissues)
✔ Postural & Structural Balance
Poor posture (from desk work, muscle imbalances, or fascial adhesions)
Scar tissue (post-surgery or injury, to improve mobility and reduce pulling)
What to Expect in a Session
Every treatment is tailored to your unique needs. Using mindful, hands-on techniques, Tomoko works with your body’s natural rhythms to:
Release fascial restrictions contributing to pain or stiffness.
Ease nerve compression (e.g., carpal tunnel, sciatica).
Improve circulation and hydration in scarred or stagnant tissues.
Calm the nervous system (especially helpful for stress-related tension or fibromyalgia).
Many clients describe the sensation as a "melting" or "unwinding" feeling, with lasting relief after just a few sessions.

FAQ: Your Questions Answered
1. Is myofascial release painful?
Not typically! Unlike deep-tissue massage, MFR uses gradual pressure. You might feel tenderness in restricted areas, but it’s always within your comfort level.
2. How many sessions will I need?
Acute issues (e.g., recent whiplash): 3–5 sessions.
Chronic conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia, scoliosis): Ongoing care (e.g., biweekly/monthly).We’ll create a personalized plan together.
3. Can MFR help old scars or surgeries?
Yes! Scar tissue can pull on fascia for years post-surgery. MFR gently rehydrates and releases these areas.
4. What’s the difference between MFR and massage?
Massage focuses on muscles; MFR targets the fascial web—ideal for chronic pain, nerve compression, and whole-body balance.
5. Do you combine MFR with other therapies?
Absolutely! Tomoko often blends MFR with:
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
Therapeutic holistic massage
Deep tissue remedial massage
M Technique
This integrative approach enhances results and supports your overall wellbeing.
