Myofascial Release Therapy
Release deep-held tension and restore your body's natural freedom of movement
Fascia is the continuous web of connective tissue that envelops every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ in your body. When it becomes restricted — from injury, surgery, inflammation, or chronic stress — it can create pain and dysfunction far from the original site of the problem.
Roberto's myofascial release technique uses gentle, sustained pressure applied slowly and precisely to fascial restrictions. Unlike more forceful approaches, this method works with your body's natural response, allowing the tissue to gradually release and lengthen. The results can be profound — clients frequently report relief from pain patterns they've carried for years.
This approach is particularly valued by clients recovering from surgery, living with chronic pain conditions, or carrying physical tension from emotional trauma. As one client, Jennifer T., a disabled veteran, shared: Roberto's myofascial release techniques "have done more for my healing than any other practice has."
Benefits
How Myofascial Release Helps You
Pain Elimination
Release fascial restrictions that cause chronic pain, headaches, and discomfort that hasn't responded to other treatments.
Scar Tissue Relief
Break down adhesions from surgeries and injuries, restoring normal tissue mobility and reducing associated pain.
Improved Flexibility
As fascia releases, your muscles and joints regain their full range of motion, making movement easier and more comfortable.
Trauma Release
The body stores physical and emotional trauma in fascial tissue. Gentle release work can help free these deep-held patterns.
Who Benefits from Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is especially effective for clients recovering from surgery or injury with scar tissue restrictions, veterans and others managing chronic pain conditions, individuals with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue, those experiencing persistent headaches or jaw pain, athletes seeking improved performance and recovery, and anyone carrying physical tension from stress or emotional trauma. Roberto's compassionate approach creates a safe, healing environment where deep release work can happen naturally.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is myofascial release?
Myofascial release is a hands-on technique that applies gentle, sustained pressure to the fascia — the connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, bone, and organ in your body. When fascia becomes restricted due to injury, surgery, or chronic tension, it can cause pain and limit mobility. Myofascial release restores the tissue's natural flexibility.
How is myofascial release different from regular massage?
Unlike traditional massage that primarily works on muscles, myofascial release targets the fascial system — the web of connective tissue throughout your body. The technique uses slower, more sustained pressure held for longer periods, allowing the fascia to gradually release and elongate.
Can myofascial release help with scar tissue?
Yes. Myofascial release is one of the most effective treatments for scar tissue restrictions from surgeries or injuries. The sustained pressure helps break down adhesions and restore normal tissue mobility, reducing pain and improving function in the affected area.
What should I expect after a myofascial release session?
Many clients experience immediate improvement in mobility and pain relief. Some may feel a bit sore for 24-48 hours as the body adjusts to the tissue changes — similar to a good workout. Drinking plenty of water and resting when possible helps your body integrate the changes.
