Myofascial Release-Deep Tissue Massage
Myofascial Release some times called Deep Tissue is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don’t get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Myofascial Release is an effective hands-on therapy which can directly change and improve health of the fascia. Its purpose is to break down scar tissue, relax the muscle and fascia and restore good posture. The techniques of myofascial release are used focus on relaxing the deep tissue of the body, providing lasting and effective relief to the client. As mentioned, this hands-on technique
is applied directly on the body and uses slow and sometimes deep pressure to restore the proper health of the fascia.
Myofascial Release has been used effectively for:
- Low back pain
- Headaches
- Neck stiffness
- Shoulder injuries
- Arthritic conditions
- Sports injuries
- Plus many more
What does a Myofascial Release treatment feel like?(Back to Top)
The pressure can range from very gentle touch to deeper pressure. The pressure should never be beyond your tolerance and it is important to give feedback to your practitioner during the treatment.
Some patients may experience a slight tingling or burning sensation in the skin, which is perfectly normal and safe. Others may feel a gentle to deep stretch on the area being treated.
The treatment of myofascial release can last from 15 minutes to over an hour. It is performed by a qualified practitioner who has studied this advanced work.
The techniques help to reorganize and lengthen the tight tissue allowing for better movement and health.
Myofascial release was specifically designed to relax the fascia throughout the whole body. And because tension in fascia can affect and cause pain in other areas, your therapist may treat other areas of the body to positively effect your treatment outcome. For example, your practitioner may work on the hips and low back to help reduce tension in the neck which in turn can cause headaches. This is the benefit of a whole body approach that makes myofascial release such an effective treatment.
Because each patient is different the number of treatments required may vary, however a general rule is that you should notice a change in your condition with the application of myofascial release. Your practioner will discuss your treatment plan and projected outcome with you during your first session.
To conclude, myofascial release is a very effective treatment program that can significantly improve many soft tissue and orthopedic conditions. To see if myofascial release is right for you please contact your local practitioner or Medical Doctor

Osteopathy (Back to Top)
Osteopathy uses a combination of hands on manual therapy skills simular to Massage Therapy, Physiotherapy and Chiropratic.
The difference is that osteopathy focuses on long term often chronic conditions that have not responded well to conventional medicine or main stream alternative therapies. In no way does this mean that those treatments or practioners were not competent. Jenings Clinic cross refers and works closely with our colleagues and with much appreciation and respect.
Jenings Osteopathy has a few main clinical focuses:
- asthma
- gastro intestional issues
- poor posture and related issues

Structural Integration-Posture Re-alignment (Back to Top)
“Structural Integration” is a scientifically validated system of restructuring the human body. It releases the body from life-long patterns of tension and allows gravity to naturally realign them. This deep therapy is highly effective for improving posture, reducing or eliminating chronic pain, and releasing long-term stress. A typical treatment (called a “10 series”) consists of ten weekly, one-hour sessions, with each session focusing on a certain area of your body. These sessions are organized into a specific sequence to most effectively realign the entire body. When the treatment is completed, you will experience a ‘new’ body that has better posture and a more relaxed relationship to gravity.
