Myofascial Release
A gentle, hands-on therapy that eases tension, restores mobility, and supports the body’s natural alignment.
What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release is a gentle, hands-on therapy that focuses on the fascia — the continuous layer of connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, nerve, blood vessel, and organ. Using light, sustained pressure and slow stretching, this method helps release restrictions and adhesions in the fascia that may contribute to chronic pain, stiffness, and limited movement.
This therapy is especially beneficial for individuals experiencing chronic muscular tension, stress-related tightness, fibromyalgia, or discomfort from injury.
At Geb Hetep Wholistic Center, practitioners follow the body’s natural cues, allowing each session to address areas of imbalance with mindful, intuitive pressure.

What to Expect in a Session
During a Myofascial Release session, your therapist uses light, sustained pressure and slow stretching techniques to address areas of tension or imbalance in the fascia. The body guides the process, helping determine the pace and depth of each movement.
Sessions are performed in a calm, nurturing environment and often include aromatherapy to enhance relaxation and clarity. Clients frequently report feeling more open, aligned, and deeply at ease after treatment.
