A gentle option
Because myofascial release uses slow, sustained pressure rather than force, it suits people with fibromyalgia, sensitive bodies and anyone who prefers a gentler touch.

Reviews
Myofascial release benefits reviews
He explained with videos and proof exactly what was going on in my body. He told me all about fascia. I picked my right hip and thigh. Just after 20 minutes there was no pain and no stiffness.
I arrived at my first session in a lot of pain as my back had gone again and didn't really know what to expect. I walked out pain free and astounded.
