Myofascial Release in New Berlin, WI
Fascia is the thin, web-like connective tissue that wraps every muscle, bone and organ in your body. When it is healthy it glides freely. After an injury, surgery, long hours at a desk or ongoing stress, it can tighten and stick, pulling on the areas around it and limiting how you move.
Myofascial release uses slow, sustained pressure and gentle stretching to ease those restrictions. There is no rushing: Melanie holds each area until the tissue softens on its own, then follows it as it releases.
Who it can help
Clients often come to Melanie for myofascial release when they have:
- Back or neck pain that keeps coming back
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion
- Tightness around an old injury or surgical scar
- Whiplash
- Plantar fasciitis
- Fibromyalgia
What a session is like
Myofascial work feels slow and deliberate rather than rubbing or kneading. Melanie usually combines it with trigger point therapy and the essential oils included in every session, adjusting the blend to what your body needs that day. Pressure stays at a level you can relax into - you should never feel more than a 5 on a 1-10 pain scale, and you can ask for a change at any time.
Melanie spent eight years in the chiropractic field before graduating from the Wisconsin School of Massage Therapy, so she has a working knowledge of how posture, joints and soft tissue affect each other. Read more about Melanie.
