Myofascial Unwinding

A gentle yet effective treatment which works with your body, mind and emotions

Myofascial Unwinding

Myofascial unwinding is a term coined by John Barnes (the father of Myofascial release) to describe a type of physical movement that comes from a higher intelligence which he often describes as a “feeling” (rather than a “thinking”) intelligence.

Unwinding is a movement that benefits soft tissues, muscles, connective tissue, and even the brain as it builds new neural pathways.
moving to feel good, safe, and allow reset

Myofascial Memories

During myofascial release work the body often ‘unwinds’, going into spontaneous movement as the fascia and muscles release. The practitioner works with and is guided by this movement, supporting the body where needed and holding it when release is taking place. It is as if the body ‘needs’ to move in a particular way to unwind. If myofascial restriction was due to physical or emotional trauma or repetitive strain, the body tends to readopt the position it was in when the event(s) occurred, allowing tensions to be identified so that they can be cleared. Myofascial unwinding may be accompanied by emotions or memories.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release (Muscle – Fascia – Release) is used for the release of fascia which has become stuck, hardened and dehydrated. Restricted fascia and soft tissues can often lead to often undiagnosed pain, exhaustion and immune system dysfunctions. Hardening of the fascia occurs in response to physical or emotional trauma.

This is a gentle yet effective treatment which works with your body, mind and emotions, not against them, and you are guided gently through the process with our experienced myofascial therapist.

Myofascial release (MFR) involves targeted and precise movements that aim to release fascial obstructions so it may feel more slow and gentle than regular massage, wherein there is more focus on kneading the muscles. Despite this, the relaxation benefits of MFR is very apparent, if not deeper and more sustaining.

For women, wearing a sports bra and underwear or shorts is recommended. For men, non constrictive shorts is recommended

Every person has a different reaction to MFR. Some may feel immediately more energized and less pain afterwards, while some might feel more tired and need to take it easy. We recommended you drink a lot of water after your session!

When addressing long held issues, an initial series of treatments with frequency will prevent rebounding while encouraging resiliency and self care techniques to maintain the new harmonious space you are creating for yourself. As your body heals, you may lengthen the duration between sessions or schedule on an as needed basis

5 Stars! Attended The Westoe Practice to have my injury seen to. fantastic, took time to explain everything as I was a little nervous, really friendly puts you at ease straight away. I’ve been back for a 2nd appointment and have to say as well as him working on sorting out my hamstring problem, I experienced the best back massage I’ve ever had!!! Thanks

Just had the most amazing hot stone massage from Kirsty. Really friendly, interested in my ailments (and there are many), knowledgeable and her voice is really calming and soothing. Will definitely book again.

Another great massag on Monday not only that but she also used some Techniques from her recent training that have helped ease the pain I was having down my left side.

From the minute you come through the doors, you enter a very tranquil waiting area with fab lighting and relaxing sounds. I received a deep tissue massage. The consultation was thorough, Natalie was so friendly and welcoming and the massage itself was amazing. Although it was only an hour long, it felt like it lasted for 2 hours. I am currently going through the treatments on offer to choose which one I want next! Reception staff are very friendly and the experience overall was a very good one! I have no constructive criticism because I cannot think of any improvements that need to be made!

Would def recommend this place. After suffering for a few weeks with an injury to a tendon where I could not run I booked a biomechanics assessment with Dean. Very knowledgeable and treatment is first class. Looking forward to the road to recovery and getting my insoles.
