Fascia Release (Myofascial Release)
A gentle yet deeply effective bodywork practice that supports the release of stored tension within the fascia (connective tissue) and muscles. It is particularly suitable when the body feels tight, restricted, overworked, or when certain areas of pain or holding repeatedly return.
The intention of each session is to create a safe space in which the body can release naturally – physically and emotionally – without pressure or performance.
What Are Fasciae and Why They Matter
Fasciae are a subtle network of connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs and connects the entire body into one integrated system.
When we experience long-term stress, overload, repetitive movement patterns, or suppressed emotions, the fasciae may lose their natural elasticity. This can result in:
- stiffness and reduced range of motion
- a feeling of "blockage" in certain areas of the body
- chronic tension, pulling, pressure, or pain
- fatigue and slower regeneration
What Is Fascia Release
Fascia Release is a conscious, hands-on approach working with the fascia through gentle, sustained pressure and attunement to the body's natural rhythm. It is not a forceful massage. Rather, it is a sensitive listening process that allows deeply held layers of tension to soften and release over time.
The release may be experienced as:
- deeper, freer breathing
- warmth or subtle tingling sensations
- spontaneous micro-movements of the body
- a sense of spaciousness, softness, or lightness
- emotional responses such as relief, calm, or being deeply touched
These responses are natural. The body remembers — and when given the right conditions, it has an innate ability to reorganise itself towards greater balance.
Who Is Fascia Release For
This work may be supportive if you:
- experience long-term tension in the neck, back, lower back, pelvis, or jaw
- spend long hours sitting or experience one-sided physical load
- are physically active or athletic and feel tightness or overload
- have a sense of "holding on" and difficulty letting go
- wish to calm the nervous system and reconnect with your body
- are going through a demanding life period that your body is carrying
(This is not a medical treatment nor a replacement for healthcare, but a supportive body-based practice.)
How a Session Works
Initial conversation (5–10 minutes)
We begin by briefly checking in. You are invited to share how you are feeling, what you are experiencing, and what you wish to focus on. We also agree on boundaries of touch and intensity.
Bodywork on the table
You remain comfortably clothed (or as agreed). I work with gentle pressure, holding, and gradual release of the tissues. Often the body itself guides the process.
Integration and closing (5–10 minutes)
At the end, we allow time for the effects to settle. I may offer simple aftercare recommendations.
What You May Experience After a Session
Experiences vary from person to person. Common responses include:
- a sense of relief and lightness
- increased ease of movement
- a need for rest or sleep
- temporary sensitivity in worked areas
- emotional release or deep calm
Aftercare recommendation: drink plenty of water, allow for a calmer pace, warmth, and gentle movement such as walking. Avoid intense physical exertion on the day of the session.
When Fascia Release May Not Be Suitable
In certain conditions, caution or postponement is advised (e.g. acute inflammation, fever, recent injury, or specific serious diagnoses). If you are unsure, please feel free to contact me and we will discuss your situation individually.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is fascia release painful?
No. The work is gentle and respectful. Depth is achieved through release, not through pain. Intensity is always adjusted to your needs.
Do I need to actively do anything during the session?
No. Your role is simply to notice sensations and stay present. At times, I may gently guide you to your breath or to a subtle movement.
How many sessions are recommended?
Sometimes one session is sufficient; in other cases, a series of sessions (e.g. 3–5) can be beneficial, depending on the theme and how your body responds.
Is this a massage?
Not exactly. It is a slow, conscious form of bodywork focusing on fascia and the nervous system. While massage-like elements may appear, the intention is deeper release of long-held tension patterns.
