Questions & Answers about Myofascial Release Treatments
What can I expect?
Access to your skin surface is required. Surface tension of the skin is an indicator of fascial restrictions.
This work requires a wider range of access to areas such as the abdomen and the sacral region, more than traditional massage therapy.
You will be informed before working on sensitive areas.
If you are uncomfortable with any aspect of treatment please speak up.
Hands-on therapies may challenge body issues, please discuss those with David.
What should I wear?
Women should wear loose fitting clothing such as gym shorts and a tank top. No tight fitting yoga pants or sports/underwire bras.
Men should wear loose fitting gym shorts and tank top, t-shirt
You'll be able to change prior to your treatment.
How many treatments are recommended?
The number of treatments needed varies depending upon your condition.
Most clients begin to experience changes within 3-4 sessions, while others experience immediate relief. Returning for occasional "tune-ups"
Continuing with sessions 1-2 times per month provides maintenance, especially for chronic pain sufferers who may want to consider doing Intensive Treatments.
Will treatment be painful?
Myofascial Release techniques will produce some mildly painful sensations.
On a scale of 1-10, want you to experience more than a 4-6 level of intensity. It is important that you not “grin and bear” it.
Producing excessive pain and discomfort is the antithesis of the Myofascial Release model.
No MFR therapist should extreme pain.
Tensing against the technique is counter productive. Clients are encouraged to discuss the level of comfort they are experiencing
