Myofascial release in Bristol for back, neck, hip and long term pain
Myofascial release in Bristol is a hands on treatment for the Fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, bone and organ. Each session assesses and treats the whole body in one visit.
If you are reading this, there is a good chance you have already tried a lot. Massage that felt lovely for two days. Exercises you did faithfully. Scans that came back clear while the ache in your back or hip stayed exactly where it was. Part of you has always suspected the answer was somewhere else in your body. That instinct is usually right.
The treatment uses slow, sustained pressure held for one to five minutes at a time. That pace gives the Fascia time to soften and lengthen, which a quick massage stroke does not. People book for back and neck pain, tight hips and shoulders, headaches, fibromyalgia and pain that has lasted for months or years.
Fascia
What is Fascia, and why does it matter for pain?
Fascia is a continuous web of collagen and fluid that runs from head to toe without a break.
Here is the part that makes sense of years of pain. Pull on the hem of a jumper and the whole jumper moves, right up to the collar. Fascia behaves the same way. A tight calf can be what holds your lower back. A stiff chest can be what keeps your neck aching every evening.
So in a session you will often feel James working well away from where you hurt. Then you stand up, bend or turn your head, and feel the difference in the place you came in with.

Myofascial release Bristol reviews
He spent time analysing my posture, looking for the sources of my problems, explaining to me how they are all linked, then gradually working on releasing the fascia in every single part of me.
He explained with videos and proof exactly what was going on in my body. He told me all about fascia. I picked my right hip and thigh. Just after 20 minutes there was no pain and no stiffness.
James taught me so much about my body that I didn't know and explained everything with videos and pictures. The first treatment helped my pain instantly.
