Myofascial Release

Healthy fascia for freedom of movement.

How does MFR work?

Fascia – the invisible web that wraps your body.

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a manual technique that works on the fascia – the connective tissue network that surrounds all organs and systems in the body. When fascia is “healthy,” it is relaxed and gliding, able to stretch and contract without restriction or pain. However, when the body experiences inflammation, injury, or prolonged emotional and psychological stress, fascia tightens, becoming rigid, stuck, and inelastic, thus limiting movement and causing various restrictions and painful conditions.

MFR promotes fascial relaxation, restoring its elasticity and function, thereby reducing pain and improving mobility.

Benefits and Advantages

Hydrated fascia enhances body and movement awareness.

Reduces pain and stiffness
Increases mobility and postural balance
Improves circulation and tissue regeneration
Speeds up recovery

Who is it for?

For those who want to optimize postural balance.

People with chronic pain
If you suffer from persistent pain in your back, neck, or shoulders that restricts daily life.
Athletes
For athletes seeking faster recovery and greater muscle flexibility.
After injuries or surgeries
When struggling with reduced mobility and problems caused by scar tissue.
People with postural problems
If you have poor posture and limited movements due to tension and imbalance.
People under stress
For anyone experiencing physical tension and constant tightness due to stress.

What does a therapeutic session look like?

Comfortable. Passive. Relaxing.

An MFR session is based on myofascial mobilization techniques, where the therapist applies gentle, sustained pressure and stretches to specific areas with identified fascial restrictions. This approach allows the fascia to respond to stimuli, reducing tension and restoring optimal elasticity and function.

The treatment is passive – the client usually lies comfortably and relaxes while the therapist works on targeted fascial areas without requiring active participation. The therapist uses detailed palpation to identify changes in tissue texture and tension, adjusting the technique according to the client’s needs. Clients may experience immediate relief, increased ease of movement, or reduced discomfort.

Questions & Answers

01How many sessions are needed and how long does one last?

A single MFR session usually lasts 30 minutes, which is the optimal time for precise work on fascial restrictions, allowing the body to adapt adequately without overload. The number of sessions depends on the client’s specific needs and goals. Some may feel improvement after the first session, while for deeper changes or chronic problems, several sessions may be required to achieve stable and lasting results.

02Can MFR help with scars such as a C-section?

Yes, MFR is very effective in treating scars. Scars often cause restrictions in the fascia, limiting movement and creating discomfort in surrounding structures, as each scar – whether from injury or surgery – disrupts fascial collagen fibers. Through gentle, sustained pressure and fascial mobilization, MFR helps reduce adhesions, improve tissue elasticity, and restore natural movement in the affected area. The therapy is tailored to be safe and effective, even for sensitive scars. MFR can also be used to reduce scar visibility and improve tissue function, which is particularly beneficial in postoperative recovery.

03Is MFR treatment painful, and are there any side effects?

MFR sessions are usually very relaxing, with many clients experiencing deep relaxation and even falling asleep during therapy. Most clients feel reduced pain and greater ease afterward, though occasionally a temporary increase in discomfort may occur. This is a normal reaction, indicating that the body is adjusting to the release of tension. These symptoms are usually short-term and subside within a few days. Rest and hydration are recommended to support the regeneration process.

Additionally, some clients may notice changes in their emotional state, usually positive, as pain reduction can also decrease stress and tension.
