Myofascial Release Therapy

Restore Movement & Ease Pain Naturally

What is Myofascial Release?

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a gentle yet powerful 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, and organ in your body. When this tissue becomes tight or restricted—due to stress, injury, poor posture, or inflammation—it can lead to stiffness, pain, and even referred discomfort in distant areas.

Unlike traditional deep tissue massage, MFR uses slow, sustained pressure to encourage the fascia to "let go," restoring balance and freedom of movement.

How Can Myofascial Release Help You?

At Nine Springs Natural Health Clinic (Yeovil), Tomoko, highly trained practitioner, 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.

Why Choose Myofascial Release?

As a holistic therapist, Tomoko blends MFR with an understanding of how emotional and physical tension intertwine.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing daily discomfort, or seeking deeper body awareness, this therapy offers a natural, drug-free approach to lasting wellness.

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 personalised 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 pairs it with manual lymphatic drainage, therapeutic holistic massage, deep tissue remedial massage or M technique for deeper results.
