Myofascial Release for Seniors
Gentle therapy for lasting comfort, balance, and independence.
Aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down; it can mean moving with more grace, confidence, and ease.
At Myofascial Release of St. George, I specialize in gentle, restorative bodywork that helps older adults regain mobility, reduce stiffness, and stay active in ways that feel safe and empowering.
Myofascial Release (MFR) works with the body’s connective tissue, or fascia, web of support that surrounds every muscle, joint, and organ. Over time, fascia can tighten from injury, inactivity, or chronic stress, limiting movement and contributing to pain.
By releasing these restrictions through slow, sustained pressure, MFR helps restore fluidity and ease, so you can move, breathe, and live more freely.
Why Myofascial Release Is Ideal for Seniors
MFR is uniquely gentle and adaptable, making it a safe, effective approach for adults at any age or stage of health.
It can help with:
Improved mobility and flexibility: easing stiffness in joints and muscles.
Reduced chronic pain: relieving tension from arthritis, old injuries, or posture changes.
Better circulation and energy: supporting the body’s natural healing process.
Improved posture and balance: realigning the body to move with confidence.
Support for recovery and resilience: beneficial after surgeries, falls, or illness.
Unlike more forceful therapies, Myofascial Release never pushes the body. It listens, waits, and works with what your system is ready to release, creating a feeling of lightness and calm.
What a Gentle Session Feels Like
Each session is designed to honor where your body is that day.
You’ll be fully supported on a comfortable table, with extra bolsters and pillows for alignment and ease. I use slow, hands-on techniques, no oils or fast movements, to gently melt away restrictions.
Many clients describe feeling taller, more open, or simply more at peace. The effects are often both physical and emotional, a reminder that your body still knows how to heal when given time and care.
Who Can Benefit
Myofascial Release can help if you’re experiencing:
Stiffness or reduced range of motion
Chronic low back or neck pain
Shoulder or hip tightness
Arthritis-related discomfort
Post-surgical or post-stroke recovery challenges
Balance or gait changes

I tailor every session to your comfort level and specific needs, always working slowly, with patience and presence.
