Myofascial Release

Restore ease through your body

What is Myofascial Release?

Myofascial Release is a slow, therapeutic hands-on approach that works with the body’s connective tissue system (fascia).

Fascia surrounds and supports muscles, joints, nerves, and organs. When it becomes tight, dehydrated, overloaded, or restricted, it can contribute to pain, stiffness, poor movement, and tension patterns

throughout the body.

Using sustained pressure and gentle stretch, Myofascial Release

helps soften restrictions, restore movement, and create more ease through the body.

How is it different from massage?

Rather than using flowing strokes or working only with muscles, Myofascial Release focuses on the deeper connective tissue network.

Movements are slower, more intentional, and guided by how the tissue responds in the moment. This allows the body time to release long-held patterns rather than simply temporarily relaxing the surface layers.

What happens during a session?

Each session is tailored to your needs on the day. This may include:

gentle assessment of tension patterns
sustained hands-on pressure
guided stretching or positional release
nervous system calming support
integration with massage or other bodywork where helpful
Sessions are slow, respectful, and responsive to your body.

What might the client experience?

Gentle release: areas that felt tight may soften, warm, or begin to yield naturally.
Tension shifts: subtle waves or expansions may ripple through the body, bringing new ease of movement.
Temporary tenderness: mild soreness can sometimes appear in treated spots, a natural part of the release.
Deep relaxation: a sense of calm, lightness, or grounding often emerges afterward.
Integrative pauses: quiet stillness may arise — even without visible movement, the body is continuing to release and realign.

What can it help with?

Relief from chronic pain: easing tension in the neck, back, shoulders, or jaw
Greater mobility: improved range of motion in shoulders, hips, and spine
Softer, more responsive tissue: reduced tightness and smoother fascia glide
Improved posture and alignment: supporting healthier movement patterns
Support for chronic conditions: such as headaches, fibromyalgia, or repetitive strain injuries
Enhanced body awareness: cultivating a greater ability to self-regulate tension

I completed the Certificate in Myofascial Release Foundations, plus Myofascial Release Upper Body, Myofascial Release Lower Body through Fascia IQ, under the guidance of Beth Beauchamp — a leading fascia educator, and speaker at the 7th International Fascia Research Congress, with 25+ years of experience in bodywork.

Future Case Study Opportunities

. Scars & Adhesions

Do you have scars & adhesions that may be contributing to restrictions in movement and flow? In 2026, I will be doing Myofascial Release Advanced Scars & Adhesions training. You can register your interest to be part of a future case study.

As a woman in her mid forties, my body has seen and experienced a lot and there’s so much work that needs to be done to reinvigorate me.

I have had a few sessions with Michelle where myofascial unwinding has featured or been the main focus. The first time I showed up broken in spirit and body and walked out refreshed and rejuvenated. The next I was brighter and excited to go deeper and walked out on top of the world! The third time my body was injured but I was still on a high from the last time - I walked out completely pain free and still excited about my future.

I was initially worried that choosing a myofascial release session would feel like I was missing out on a massage, especially as my sciatic pain usually requires very focused work in the lower back, glutes and hamstrings. While some work was done there, the most profound release came from unexpected areas — my hand and jaw — where my body revealed the deeper cause. The clarity and release that followed were incredible.
