It has been known for clients to cry during Myofascial Release sessions with me. Not because they're painful but because as the tissue releases so too can trapped emotions.

We hold a lot of emotions in because we're not shown how to express them properly. In fact we're more likely to have been told not to cry, not to shout, not to scream because it's not the done thing to do when really we should have been told that it's good to show emotions because when you don't let them out they get trapped and cause issues later on.

A baby instinctively knows how to release emotions which is why they can be crying one minute and laughing the next.

When I do Myofascial Release work anywhere but particularly around the shoulder area and the hips, you may feel tears bubble up and hopefully out.

Crying is good and shows that those trapped emotions are coming out so don't be afraid to let them flow, I always have a big box of tissues available 😁.

As a massage therapist, I'm always advising other people to take the time for self-care but it's important that I take time for it too.

I have been feeling a bit out of kilter physically and emotionally for the last few days. Nothing serious and if anyone asked me what was up, I couldn't really verbalise it but everything has just been feeling a bit off.

So yesterday I cashed in my treatment swap with Connect - Mind Body Soul and had a lovely hour of KCR. Kinetic Chain Release is a manual therapy that focuses on gently releasing tension and imbalances throughout the body's interconnected network of muscles, tendons, and ligaments, known as the kinetic chain.

Today my mind and body are feeling a lot more balanced. The little niggles in my ankle & shoulder have gone and I no longer feel like bursting into tears for the most insignificant thing 😄. Thank you Phyllis Anderson for my lovely treatment.

So here it is, my first ever post on YouTube, yay!

This is a short video to demonstrate what a treatment with me can look like.

It's sped up for the purposes of entertainment because watching me hanging out on a body part for several minutes would be a little tedious 😜.

Fascial Release takes between 2 to 3 minutes.

I use the tools of my trade: my fists, palms, thumbs, finger pads, forearms and body weight to sink into the fascia, hold and wait for the exquisite release.

Throughout the treatment I ask the client if it's a good hurt because that's what we need. If anything makes you grit your teeth or tense up, it's counterproductive and only serves to push the tension deeper into the fascia.

Enjoy and please be kind. 😁

When I originally did a night class in Swedish massage way back in 2012, I had no idea where it would lead.

After many hours of study and practice over the next couple of years, I qualified as an Advanced Clinical Massage and Advanced Myofascial Release Therapist.

Since then I have added many other massage modalities to my toolbox. As I have grown as a practitioner, I have developed my own unique style with a big emphasis on fascial work.

The human body amazes me. You have within you the ability to heal yourself and I love that I can act as a conduit to that healing process.

When I put my hands onto someone's body, I draw on the natural energy of the earth and within me to help move energy stuck in the tissues.

It's quite magical to feel tissue melt, to feel tension release. I hold space for someone to allow their body to let go.

It's a privilege for me to witness and I hope to share it with many more people over the course of my career.

This is a great demonstration of what can happen when fascia in the body becomes restricted.

Fascial restrictions can be caused by trauma of any kind; physical, emotional or spiritual.

My treatments include a lot of fascial work because it can make a huge difference. Fascial release helps to return fluidity to the body. Restrictions melt away and movement improves.

Why fascia restrictions, should be considered when assessing and treating chronic pain conditions.Have you had your Myofascia system assessed?We offer a Free...

The modern world has us all struggling with a dysregulated nervous system. Our bodies are constantly in 'fight or flight' and we find it difficult to get into 'rest and digest' mode.

This could be one of the reasons that you are suffering from muscle tension and chronic pain.

My style of massage is a wonderful way to help your body's nervous system to relax. I don't force anything but rather use a listening touch and the concept of a good hurt to allow your body to feel safe enough to relax.

This quote popped into my head while I was giving a treatment this morning and it just fits.

My treatments are always evolving as I learn more about the body, stuck energy and how to release it.

The beauty really is in the pause when it comes to fascial techniques. With fascia it takes 90-120 seconds for the melt to happen.

So for me as the facilitator, I use my hands or arms to lock into the tissue, pause and wait to feel the give, the delicious point at which the body is relaxed enough to let the fascial adhesions begin to melt away.

Not all pain has an obvious cause. Your pain could be connected to emotions that you are holding on to and may have been holding on to for a long time.

Fascial techniques help the body to release any stagnant energy or emotions. I listen to the tissues as I work, not forcing anything but rather holding in place and waiting for the tissues to melt and allow me to go deeper.

Use the power of nature to recharge and nourish your body.

Personally I love a nice cold dip in the ocean to really feel invigorated.

What's your favourite?

It's definitely time to move away from the sick care system and towards something better.

Pushing drugs on people without first considering lifestyle changes is getting us nowhere.

Getting out into the sunshine & fresh air, moving your body, eating food that comes from the earth or grazes the earth. These are the things that will bring you health.

Every body is different and everyone experiences pain uniquely.

When you visit me for a massage we will talk through what may be causing your pain and go from there.

I have a vast array of techniques in my toolbox and I instinctively select those that I feel will be the most effective.

I like to concentrate on the fascia because it holds so much of our physical, emotional and spiritual trauma. When it becomes blocked, it causes pain.

I work slowly and deeply using the concept of a good hurt and waiting for the tissue to melt under my hands, thumbs, forearms or elbows. The release can take time but when it happens, it feels so good.
