Myofacial Therapy (MFT, also known as Myofacial Release) is a specialized approach to massage therapy.  Entire sessions are dedicated to one specific area, usually centered around a joint, to create changes based on postural imbalances and abnormal or limited movements of that joint.  MFT to me is the best of the best of massage therapy. 

 

First we pick an area to work on.  With specific questioning, postural observances and range of motion tests, I can create a strategy for your session with a specific goal.  Then the fun part; the massage happens.  Then we re-assess the posture and movements, chart them, and go from there.  Sometimes new things arise as old ones heal.  All in all, specific goals are set and carefully observed.  The best reviews I have on my client review page were usually MFT sessions.  This modality is the most progress oriented, with detailed documentation of each movement and muscle, each session.

 

Currently I offer MFT on the following joint regions:

Shoulder blade (scapulothoracic joint, back area)

Shoulder (glenohumeral joint, front area)

Neck

Spine

Knee

Foot/Ankle

Elbow/Wrist

Hip
