Question 4

What are the benefits of the myofascial release technique?

Accepted Answer

Myofascial Release targets the fascia, the connective tissue supporting your body's structure. When the fascia tightens due to injury, inflammation, or trauma, it can cause pain and restrict movement. This technique releases the fascia, restoring normal function by applying slow, strong glides to restricted areas. It can help with chronic pain, postural imbalances, headaches, and stress-related conditions.

Question 5

How do we determine the best technique for your treatment?

Accepted Answer

The best technique for your treatment depends on your specific condition during your visit. Unlike other spas that charge extra for advanced techniques like deep tissue or sports massage, I include these in my standard pricing. You just need to choose the session length. After discussing your concerns, I'll determine the best techniques to use. You can also request a specific treatment type and confirm in advance if I specialise in it.

Question 6

How will I feel after my treatment?

Accepted Answer

Most people feel relief. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial treatment you can feel slightly tender for 24-48 hours this can be reduced with stretching and heat or ice. If you experience tenderness longer than 48 hours please contact your myotherapist to answer any questions you may have.
After the first 48 hours following your treatment, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. It is recommended you drink plenty of water following your massage.
