Hands-On Fascial Therapy for Lasting Relief in Lake Forest

Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles, nerves, and joints. When it becomes tight or inflamed, it can limit movement and cause pain throughout the body. At Wellness Solutions, Myofascial Release helps clients with:

• Chronic Muscle Tension & Trigger Points – Neck, back, shoulders, hips
• Postural Imbalances – Caused by desk jobs, injury, or inactivity
• Injury Recovery & Scar Tissue – Improve soft tissue healing and mobility
• Headaches, TMJ, or Fibromyalgia – Reduce fascial tension and pain
• Athletic Performance – Enhance range of motion and prevent injury

Our one-on-one sessions are personalized to your needs and delivered in a quiet, restorative setting.

How Myofascial Release Works to Relieve Tension

Myofascial Release is a gentle, sustained-pressure technique that targets restricted areas of fascia. Unlike massage, it doesn’t rely on oil or rapid movement—it uses slow, consistent pressure to soften and lengthen the connective tissue.

Our therapists use:

• Hands-on Pressure – Gentle pressure held for 90–120 seconds to release restrictions
• Active Movement Integration – Encouraging your body to realign naturally
• Postural Awareness & Breathwork – Supporting relaxation and neuromuscular balance

These techniques help your body rebalance, reduce pain, and support long-term mobility.

What to Expect During a Myofascial Release Session

Your session begins with a brief assessment of posture, pain points, and movement patterns. From there, your therapist will identify fascial restrictions and apply sustained pressure to gently release them—no popping, cracking, or deep pressure involved.

Most clients feel a deep sense of release and lightness after treatment. Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes, and improvements often continue for days as your fascia adjusts and heals.

Why Myofascial Release Works for Pain and Mobility

1. Breaks Up Fascial Adhesions
Loosens tight areas that restrict movement and contribute to chronic discomfort.

2. Improves Alignment and Posture
Helps the body return to a more natural, pain-free position.

3. Increases Flexibility and Range of Motion
Restores length to shortened fascia, helping you move with ease.

4. Reduces Chronic Pain and Tension
Relieves pressure on muscles and joints for long-term relief.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Myofascial Release hurt?
Not at all. MFR uses gentle, sustained pressure. You may feel a stretch or mild discomfort as restrictions release, but it’s never forced or painful.

How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your condition. Some clients feel better after just one session, while others benefit from ongoing care as part of a full recovery plan.

Is it like massage therapy?
While both use hands-on techniques, MFR is more focused on fascia and is performed dry (no lotion), with slow, sustained pressure to create deeper tissue change.
