Discover the Benefits of Myofascial Release Therapy at the FAB Clinic

At the FAB Clinic, we understand that finding the right treatment for your aches and pains can be a journey. Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) offers a holistic approach that might just be the answer you've been searching for. Whether you're dealing with persistent muscle tension, recovering from an injury, or seeking relief from chronic pain, MFR is designed to treat you as a whole person, not just your symptoms.

Our therapy focuses on the fascia—a complex web of connective tissue that wraps around your muscles, skin, bones, and organs. Often, it's the restrictions in your fascial system that lie at the heart of chronic conditions. Unlike other treatments, MFR is gentle, non-invasive, and pain-free, making it a popular choice among athletes and fitness enthusiasts. It's also gaining recognition as a superior method for addressing chronic issues and promoting long-term health.

Many people assume MFR is just another type of massage, but it's much more than that. By applying gentle, sustained pressure to specific areas, we release long-standing restrictions in your myofascial tissue. This process helps alleviate pain, improve your range of motion, and allows your body to restore its natural balance and healing abilities.

At the FAB Clinic, we follow the John F. Barnes approach, which is unique in its slow rhythm and direct pressure application. We work with your body, allowing it the time to adjust and heal naturally, rather than forcing changes.

Your Journey with Us

Before we begin your treatment, we'll conduct a thorough assessment to understand your specific injury or condition. This personalised approach ensures that we address your unique needs. From your very first session, many clients feel a newfound sense of space and freedom in their bodies, alongside reduced pain.

As you continue with your sessions, you'll experience the profound benefits of a bespoke self-care fascial release programme. This may include pain relief, improved physical function, reduced stress, increased mobility, and better sleep quality.

During your session, you might lie on a table in various positions, depending on what we're addressing. Claire will apply gentle, precise pressure to release tension in your fascia. You may feel sensations like warmth or a gentle stretching, but rest assured, nothing will ever feel forceful.

Each session, lasting about an hour, is tailored to you and may include hands-on treatment, self-care exercises, movement exploration, and more. Some mild discomfort or tenderness might occur, but it's important to communicate this with Claire to ensure a comfortable experience. Many find MFR to be deeply relaxing and therapeutic.

If you've tried other treatments without success, Myofascial Release Therapy could be the key to unlocking your body's natural healing potential. Regular sessions can significantly enhance your mobility, reduce pain, and boost your overall well-being.
