MYOFASCIAL

Free Your Body Through Momement

Optimising Movement through the Myofascial System

Using my knowledge of the body's Myofascial system, I take a systematic approach to understand and assess your pain and limitations.


What is Myofascial Therapy?

The myofascial system is the fascia that wraps, connects and supports muscles. It does more than just support your internal structure; when your fascia is stressed, it tighten up.


When your fascia is functioning optimally, it allows free movement. When it's tightened, especially for prolonged periods of time (poor posture, desk work, trauma etc) it will impact the freedom of movement, resulting in tension points, pain and compensation of surrounding tissues.


My aim is to help assess your fascia lines to see where your constrictions are and make a tailored plan to help free your movement.


Our Approach

01 Myofascial Appraisal

02 Myofascial Treatment Plan

Myofascial Therapy Appraisal

My objective is to find the constrictions in your fascia, then bring healing through mobilising your body.


I will tailor a plan specific to your areas of concern. This plan will incorporate simple, interesting, and highly effective movements to be done on a regular basis.  I will explain each movement and provide you with a detailed plan.


Depending on the results, we will discuss any future recommended treatments.  This could include mobility sessions, a massage or a combination of both.

FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • What is fascia?

    Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin. When stressed, it tightens up.

    Example: If your skin were the rind of an orange, your fascia would be the thick pithy layer below. The thin white layer encasing each orange segment would be like the fascia that envelopes your muscles. The fine layer that holds each orange juice droplet in place would be like your fascia, encasing individual cells in our body. Fascia is an incredible tissue as it functions to provide our body with a stable scaffolding but at the same time allows movement, flexibility.

  • What happens when fascia isn’t optimal?

    When functioning optimally, our fascia will move, slide, and glide with everything we do. When fascia is in a continually shortened position for prolonged periods from sedentary lifestyle and poor posture, it will adapt – shortening and tightening. Fascial restrictions can also occur from trauma, infection, inflammation, or surgery as these ‘assaults’ impact the freedom of movement of our fascia, resulting in tension points, pain and compensation of surrounding tissues.


  • What do I wear for a Myofascial Appraisal?

    Please wear some comfortable activewear.  Anything that I can see your posture easily and you can move and stretch in.  You don’t need any shoes; this will be done barefoot.

  • How do I know if I need a Massage or a Myofascial treatment?

    I recommend a Myofascial Appraisal as your 1st step.  This way I can test all the Fascia lines to see where your constrictions are.  From there, I can recommend what we do next.  This is tailored to each individual.

  • How much does a Myofascial Appraisal cost?

    The initial appraisal is $120 for 90mins
