Myofascial Release
What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle, continuous pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This imperative “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate.
But what is fascia?
Fascia is a tough membrane of varying thickness which envelops and separates everything in the body from whole muscle groups and bones down to each individual cell, providing protection and communication.
It is like a three-dimensional net, reaching right through the body, surrounding individual muscle fibers, tendons, ligaments, nerves, organs, lymph vessels, blood vessels and capillaries. Through the meninges and the dural tube fascia plays a crucial role in the central nervous system. Fascia has a tensile strength of around 2000lbs per square inch.
In the normal, hydrated, healthy state, fascia has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. Because fascia is entirely continuous throughout the body, a restriction in one part will affect every other part.
Fascia and muscular pain
Each muscle fiber has a fascial binding, and so muscle and fascia are functionally linked. Injuries or imbalances in the muscular system will cause the fascia to tighten and dehydrate, and it is often restrictions in fascia which give rise to ‘muscle’ pain or ‘tendonitis’.

a year agoKelly is great! I had an ongoing issue with my shoulder and after a few sessions I felt good as new! Kelly is very intuitive. She always figures out just what my body needs. I wouldn't hesitate to book a session with her. Your body will thank you.

2 years agoI have never been to a health and wellness, or doctors office that can make me feel like a completely different person! After being seen by Kelly I can take on my day and week with clarity and pain free. It’s amazing and I highly recommend for everyone, even without pains, to get cranial therapy!

in the last weekI have been seeing Kelly for craniosacral therapy for 6+ months now and it has been life changing for me. Over the years, I have tried so many different methods to try and manage my very sensitive nervous system and so far cranio has been the only practice I have found that helps me regulate and feel better. Kelly also helps me with my physical ailments due to my hypermobility. She is a gifted healer!
