Our clinic provides clinically led myofascial release therapy near Kings Cross Station, supporting pain relief, mobility improvement, and long term musculoskeletal health for active professionals and London residents.
What is myofascial release
Myofascial release is a clinically focused form of soft tissue therapy that targets the fascial system, a continuous three dimensional connective tissue network that surrounds, supports, and integrates muscles, joints, nerves, and organs. Dysfunction within this system, often caused by repetitive loading, trauma, poor posture, or prolonged stress, can lead to altered biomechanics, restricted range of motion, neuromuscular inhibition, and persistent pain patterns.
Myofascial release is used to assess and treat these restrictions through precise, low load manual techniques that aim to restore fascial elasticity, improve tissue glide, and normalise movement efficiency. This therapeutic approach is particularly effective for managing chronic musculoskeletal pain, postural imbalances, and movement dysfunctions that may not respond to conventional massage techniques, making it suitable for both active individuals and those experiencing long standing physical discomfort
Our myofascial release clinic near Kings Cross follows an assessment led approach. Each session begins with a professional consultation to identify fascial restrictions, movement limitations, and contributing lifestyle factors. Treatment involves sustained, controlled pressure applied to restricted fascial tissue. Unlike traditional massage, myofascial release works slowly and deliberately to allow the fascia to soften and lengthen without force. Key techniques used during myofascial release treatment include
How myofascial release work ❊
A low load, prolonged pressure technique used to address restricted fascial tissue. Sustained holds allow the fascia to gradually deform, rehydrate, and reduce protective muscle guarding, supporting pain reduction and improved tissue pliability.
Sustained fascial holds
A controlled manual stretch applied across larger fascial planes. This technique improves tissue extensibility, restores glide between fascial layers, and is particularly effective for postural and load related restrictions.
Cross hand release
A neurosensory guided technique that allows the body to move naturally in response to fascial tension. Fascial unwinding supports deep release, improves proprioception, and enhances overall movement coordination.

FAQs
How is myofascial release different from sports massage?
Myofascial release focuses primarily on the fascia using sustained pressure and slow techniques, whereas sports massage typically targets muscle tissue using deeper, more dynamic strokes. Myofascial release is often more effective for chronic pain, postural issues, and long standing movement restrictions.
What should I expect during a myofascial release session?
Your session will begin with a brief consultation and movement assessment, followed by hands on treatment using targeted myofascial techniques. Sessions are tailored to your symptoms, movement patterns, and goals to ensure safe and effective outcomes.
How many myofascial release sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the severity, duration, and complexity of the condition. Some clients experience noticeable improvement after one session, while others benefit from a short course of treatments to achieve lasting results.
Can I train on the same day as my session?
Before- Yes. Especially for light to moderate training. After your session you will get clear guidance on what is appropriate that day and how to adjust your training over the next forty eight hours.
