A whole-person approach to care
Carolyn works with clients experiencing chronic pain, headaches, TMJ dysfunction, postural tension, and those recovering from injury, surgery, or trauma.
Her approach is rooted in the understanding that the body responds to and carries our lived experiences, and that lasting change comes from addressing the underlying restrictions contributing to pain and dysfunction rather than simply managing symptoms temporarily.
Sessions are individualized and guided by presence, patience, and careful listening to the body to support greater ease, mobility, and connection within the body.
Why Choose Myofascial Release
Restriction-focused care
Work targets underlying fascial restrictions, not only surface symptoms.
Gentle, sustained pressure
Pressure is applied without forcing tissue; the body sets the pace.
Progress between sessions
Education and home care can support what you build in the treatment room.
The treatmentspace
A quiet, comfortable setting for hands-on work. Sessions are unhurried so there is room to listen to how your body responds.
Is This Right For Me?
If you're experiencing any of these situations, myofascial release may be exactly what you need.
💪
Chronic Back or Neck Pain
If you've been to physical therapy, tried chiropractors, attempted every stretch, and the pain persists, you're not alone. Chronic pain often signals deep fascial restrictions that standard approaches miss.
How MFR helps
MFR targets the fascial restrictions wrapped around your muscles and nerves. By releasing these restrictions, many people experience relief where other treatments haven't worked.
🏥
Post-Surgery Recovery
After surgery—whether orthopedic, abdominal, or otherwise—your body heals with tightness and scar tissue. This can limit movement and create pain even after clearance from your surgeon.
How MFR helps
Myofascial release helps break up scar tissue adhesions and restore mobility. Many post-surgical patients find MFR accelerates their recovery timeline significantly.
🌊
Fibromyalgia & Widespread Pain
Widespread, persistent pain affecting multiple areas of your body can feel isolating. Standard treatments often miss the underlying fascial component driving systemic pain.
How MFR helps
MFR addresses the fascial restrictions contributing to fibromyalgia symptoms. Many clients with fibromyalgia experience meaningful relief through gentle, sustained pressure work.
