Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare for my treatment session?

Myofascial Release is done directly on the skin. Please bring appropriate clothing that allows for hands-on contact with your body. It is recommended that women bring athletic or loose-fitting shorts and a sports bra or tank top, and men bring athletic or loose-fitting shorts. Please refrain from wearing lotion, oil, creams, or perfume on the day of your session.

What happens during a session?

A Myofascial Release therapist utilizes a whole-body approach to treatment. During your initial session, your therapist will be looking for areas of fascial restriction in the body. The treatment approach will vary depending on where your particular areas of restriction lie. You may be treated in areas that seem unrelated to your condition. However, these areas may be creating a “drag” on adjacent pain-sensitive structures, thus contributing to your symptoms.

Treatment sessions are often very relaxing. There may or may not be a conversation with the therapist, and at the same time, the therapist will encourage you to be aware of sensations you may be feeling in your body. Feedback to the therapist about what you are feeling helps the therapist to be most effective.

How many sessions will it take?

Unfortunately, there is no number of treatments that corresponds with age, diagnosis, or years of pain or dysfunction. Each person responds at their own rate. Patients are tapered based on their progress. In general, patients who are motivated to achieve their goals and follow through with self-treatment, tend to resolve their pain and functional limitations in a shorter amount of time. Whereas people with chronic pain and symptoms may require more frequent sessions and more intensive therapy (frequency and duration).
