What to Expect
You are unique and your session will be tailored to your individual needs and goals. Everyone is different - two people with the exact same medical diagnosis can follow very different paths to healing!
Myofascial Release never pushes or forces - it is NOT a "no pain, no gain" approach. Instead, we uses gentle, sustained stretching, compression and cranial techniques to free your body from its restricting shell, producing feelings of relaxation and deep release.
Some people experience tremendous relief after just one session. For others, it may require multiple sessions.
Your first session will be a tele-health session to go over your medical history and treatment goals in detail. You will have the opportunity to share your past experiences, current concerns, and hopes for the future. Many people who come to me for therapy have a long and complex medical history and have been seeking relief for years, if not decades! This is the time to discuss how you got to where you are and where you want to go from here. Together, we will develop a treatment plan to help you get there.
After this initial intake and assessment, you will be able to come to the office for hands-on treatment sessions. We will do an in-depth postural/structural assessment to identify restrictions in your body that may be contributing to your condition and discuss any issues we may find. You will also receive approximately 60 minutes of hands on treatment in each session.
You will remain partially clothed throughout the session, so be sure to wear a comfortable pair of gym shorts, underwear, a loose, comfortable bra or tank top, or a two-piece bathing suit.
As you progress, you may choose to do a myofascial coaching session
to develop an individually tailored self care plan. This will help you maximize the benefits of therapy and achieve lasting results. Your self care plan will be expanded and updated to fit your changing needs.
