✨ Feeling stuck in pain? Myofascial Release might just be what your body’s been asking for.

In Myotherapy, hands-on myofascial release (MFR) helps ease tension in the fascia, the web of connective tissue that supports and surrounds every muscle and organ. When fascia is tight, it can restrict movement, increase pain and throw everything a little off balance.

💆‍♀️ How Myofascial Release helps:

Reduces tightness and improves tissue mobility, easing strain on muscles and joints.

Restores glide between layers of tissue, helping you move more freely and comfortably.

Calms the nervous system, reduces pain sensitivity and promotes deep relaxation.

Supports better posture, body awareness and recovery after injury or surgery.

📚 What the research says:

Studies have shown that myofascial release can reduce pain and improve function in conditions like chronic low back pain, neck pain and even fibromyalgia.

💙 What this means for you:

Myofascial Release isn’t about “forcing” change - it’s about creating space for it.
Paired with movement, other modalities and tailored exercise, it can help reduce pain, restore function and reconnect you with your body in a gentle and lasting way.

🌿 Because feeling better shouldn’t be complicated. It should feel natural.

Multi-faceted approach for neck and shoulder pain

When muscles like the sternocleidomastoid (SCM), scalenes, and trapezius become tight or strained, they can irritate the nerves and tissues around the upper neck and head. For example:

💠 Trigger points in the SCM and trapezius are closely linked with cervicogenic headaches, where irritation from neck structures refers pain into the head.

💠 Studies show people with headaches often have lower pressure-pain thresholds in these muscles, meaning they’re more sensitive - supporting the link between neck tension and headaches.

💠 Imaging research found the trapezius muscle showed higher T2 values (signs of inflammation) in people with tension-type headaches, correlating with headache frequency and neck pain.

In short, when these neck muscles are overworked or tight, they can contribute to nerve irritation and feed into the trigeminocervical complex - a key pathway that can trigger headaches.

How can I help? Alleviate tension and address dysfunction to return you to a functional and pain free (read: headache free) state.

Cupping therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique that helps relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote natural healing. By creating suction on the skin, cupping encourages fresh blood flow to the area, helping to release tight fascia, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, muscle tightness, or an acute injury, cupping can support your body’s healing process and restore movement and comfort. Many clients also find it deeply relaxing, perfect for letting your body unwind while addressing the root cause of discomfort.
