Myofascial release techniques
The main myofascial release techniques, what each one does and how they are combined in a two hour session.

Sustained pressure
The core technique. A hand, forearm or fingers sink slowly into the restricted tissue and hold for one to five minutes, following it as it softens rather than forcing it.

Cross hand stretch
Both hands are placed on the skin, crossed, and gently drawn apart to take up the slack. The stretch is held until the tissue lengthens under the hands. It suits broad areas such as the back and thighs.

Active release
Pressure is held on a muscle while you slowly move the joint, so the tissue slides under the hand. It is useful for the shoulders, hips and calves.

How a session combines them
Your history and an assessment of posture and movement come first. The techniques are then chosen for each area along the Anatomy Trains lines that test tight, and movement is checked again at the end.
Reviews
Myofascial release techniques reviews
He spent time analysing my posture, looking for the sources of my problems, explaining to me how they are all linked, then gradually working on releasing the fascia in every single part of me.
I had physio, treatments, sports massage, and scans from professional sports clubs. Once I met James, it was literally the first session, there was such a release. As I moved, I could feel zero pulling, like the whole area just opened up.
