Fascia Release Therapy | Chronic Pain Relief | From €65
What Is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial release (MFR) is a specialized manual therapy that targets the fascia — the three-dimensional web of connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, bone, nerve, blood vessel, and organ in your body. When fascia becomes tight, dehydrated, or develops adhesions (from injury, surgery, poor posture, or chronic tension), it creates pain and restricts movement — sometimes far from the original site.
The therapist uses sustained, gentle pressure — holding stretches for 2-5 minutes per area — to allow the fascial tissue to slowly release, rehydrate, and regain its natural elasticity. Unlike massage which works with muscles, MFR works with the fascial network, addressing restrictions that standard massage cannot reach.
- Targets fascia (connective tissue network)
- Sustained gentle holds of 2-5 minutes
- No oils used — works through skin friction
- Addresses pain that standard massage cannot
- Restores tissue elasticity and hydration
Benefits of Myofascial Release
Fascia Freedom
Releases fascial restrictions that cause pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion
Root Cause Treatment
Addresses the underlying fascial restrictions that may be the real source of your chronic pain
Postural Improvement
As fascia releases, the body naturally realigns into better posture
Greater Flexibility
Fascial release restores range of motion that muscles alone cannot achieve
Scar Tissue Treatment
Breaks down adhesions from surgery scars, injuries, and chronic inflammation
Emotional Release
Fascia stores emotional tension — release often brings unexpected emotional relief and lightness
How It Works
Fascial Assessment
Therapist evaluates your movement patterns, posture, and tissue quality to find restrictions in Maastricht
Sustained Holds
Gentle, prolonged pressure on restricted areas — each hold lasts 2-5 minutes until the tissue releases
Movement Integration
Gentle movement and stretching to integrate the releases and re-educate your body's movement patterns
Body Awareness
Learn to feel and maintain your new range of motion. Progress often continues for days after treatment
Pricing
Price varies by therapist. Travel within the city included.
