What are Myofascial Release Treatments about?

Myofascial release therapy (MFR) is a medically-validated and clinically-proven approach to alleviate physical and emotional trauma

Fascia is the three-dimensional web of tissues that give your body its form, strength, and mobility. Already formed pre-birth, it continues to adjusts itself to the way you move to throughout your entire life to give your body the anatomical integrity it needs to function.

This protein-rich and ever-changing web touches every cell in your body, and acts as a second signaling system alongside your nervous system.

In any type of manual and physical therapy, form informs function, and vice versa. Fascia continuously responds to both physical and emotional trauma. It can cause undesired postural and psychological behaviours over time. We are seldom fully aware of how even decade-old harm and injuries can still affect our physical and cognitive functioning today.

Fascia does more than enabling us to function mechanically. It plays an instrumental role in the way we perceive our humanness, and even our individuality.

We now understand that early Oriental texts may already refer to fascia as a sensory system that enables us to communicate energetically, and therefore spiritually.

Like other physical and manual therapies, treatments are touch-based interventions. However, they also are unique to MFR in that they are performed painlessly, slowly, and accumulatively to allow your body to gradually reconnect with your neurology in healthier and realistic ways.

Advaya Healing Bodywork is properly certified and accredited to design and deliver personalised Myofascial Release Therapies. Each treatment is robustly based on sound medical and clinical principles, and founded in best therapeutic practices.
