Myofascial release in San Francisco

I hold slow, sustained pressure on the restriction. Usually there's little or no oil, so my hands can grip the tissue and lengthen it. It feels different from a regular massage. Less like kneading, more like a slow melt.

Stretching alone often won't free tissue that's been stuck from an injury, from doing the same motion over and over, or from years of the same posture.

You book a 90- or 120-minute in-home session. Myofascial release is what I reach for inside that time when something keeps coming back.

I start here when the same tightness keeps returning. Shoulder tension that shows up every week is a common one, and so is the posture that comes from a laptop. A range of motion that stretching hasn't changed is the other reason. Low back pain that keeps returning often starts here too.
