How Myofascial Release Transformed My Life...
and How It Can Help You Too!

myofascial massage for carpal tunnel

My teenage years were riddled with pain. For close to a decade, I dealt with chronic pain that wouldn’t go away.

Every day felt like a battle.

I tried all the standard approaches to overcoming pain - medications, surgery, chiropractic even acupuncture—but nothing gave me the long-lasting relief I was looking for.

In my early 20’s, I discovered myofascial release… after my very first session, I felt a noticeable difference. My body felt lighter, more relaxed, and the pain that had been part of my life for so long started to ease.

Over time, consistent myofascial release treatments combined with exercise not only reduced my pain but also helped me find freedom in my movement.

I wasn’t just masking the symptoms—I was addressing the root cause of my pain.

Now, I’m passionate about helping others experience the same transformation. Over the past 20 years I’ve dedicated myself to learning and practicing myofascial release, and I want to share that healing with you.

Hugh is great! He is personable and genuinely cares about my wellbeing. I appreciate his knowledgeable and client focused approach. I must say that that the first few sessions produced slight improvements. That was a good thing and enough to influence my desire to return. A real jump occurred after my third session though. It was like the treatments were compounding. After my third session, I saw a significant improvement. Thank you - Thank you Hugh!

I’ve had back issues on and off for years after playing college basketball. There were times that sitting, standing, and walking were all painful and docs recommended injections. A few years ago, my back seized up during a workout I was ushered into Hugh’s office. After some work, I was able to get off the table and walk again with minimal pain. I’ve been seeing Hugh semi-regularly since then and I have not had anywhere near the issues I used to have. He also helps with any aches and pains from skiing or basketball games. I am so appreciative and I can’t recommend it enough!

Hugh is a kind and exceptional practitioner of Gentle Myofascial Release. I am in my early 70s and have areas of muscle tension and age-related neck & back pain. In 4 sessions, my pain and tight muscles have diminished. I am grateful for Hugh's gentle touch and understanding of what my body needs. I feel calm and more spiritually centered after a session as well. I will continue to use his services and encourage others to try Myofascial Release.

My two consecutive sessions with Hugh were amazing, and I'm considering traveling back to Denver for more! Hugh's technique is fascinating (more aligned to energy work than physical body work, in my opinion) and it totally works. We spent the majority of one session on my right arm and shoulder. The shoulder was always angled forward and, when laying down, would never fully relax backwards. After our session, my right shoulder melts into whatever surface I'm laying on. There's no more tightness and tension. I have greater sensation in my right arm, no more numbness. I had been seeing a traditional massage therapist to deal with the pain in my right arm, shoulder, neck, collarbone, and upper back for a year and a half, and Hugh's work has resolved the issue. Additionally, Hugh is an absolute pleasure to chat with during the sessions! We had some amazing conversation that made receiving the work even more enjoyable and relaxing. I can't recommend Hugh and his unique myofascial release technique enough! I really want to continue exploring the effect it can have on all areas of my body!

I have had wonderful results from my first couple sessions. Hugh is gentle and easy going, but extremely effective in addressing pain and other difficulties. Looking forward to seeing how much progress I can make in addressing pain and structural issues

I've seen improvement after just two sessions on both my legs and neck which have chronic pain and tightness. I have tried many things to improve my day-to-day pain and thus far this has been a huge success.

I strongly recommend Gentle Myofascial Release. Given the nature of my work, my back was in pretty bad shape. I reached out to Hugh and after the first visit i almost instantly noticed a difference. With Hugh’s continued support my overall pain level has decreased dramatically. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of pain and tightness that was removed. I will continue to visit Hugh as part of my bi-weekly regiment towards regained motion and pain management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Myofascial Release Painful?The most common form of Myofascial Release uses slow, heavy pressure to treat the restrictions. This can be an incredibly intense experience.

Many people assume that the best way to release soft tissue is with deep pressure.

This is how I used to treat, until I realized that such an intense experience could be traumatic for some people (like my kids, who, at 3 months old could not have handled such intense pressure). 

The way I release soft tissue now is quite the opposite of painful… Because I use gentle pressure, clients generally find it very relaxing, many even fall asleep!

Is Gentle Myofascial Release Effective?There’s growing evidence that supports the benefits of myofascial release, especially for improving mobility, reducing pain, and increasing body awareness.

While fascia is still a relatively new frontier in medical science, research is showing that it's much more dynamic and influential than once believed.

With Gentle Myofascial Release I can very specifically target the areas that actually need work rather than just plowing the whole tissue - and this includes those tricky areas that a heavier style simply cannot treat.

Do You Take Insurance?Not directly. Some clients have been able to claim reimbursements though.

Have your doctor write you a prescription for myofascial release. You will need to pay upfront, but, depending on your insurance, you may be able to claim some/all of the upfront cost back.

Good luck 🤞

How Is Myofascial Release Different From Massage or Stretching?Myofascial release targets restrictions in the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds and supports your muscles, nerves, and organs.

Unlike traditional massage, which helps relaxation and circulation, MFR releases the stuck tissue so that the muscles, nerves, bones and/or organs are free to move again.

Stretching works on muscle length, but MFR can help free up restrictions that stretching alone can’t reach.

Will I Feel Sore or Emotional After MFR?Sometimes, yes.

Even though the touch is gentle, the technique is desgned to 'break down' the soft tissue, in much the same way as a workout might, and so your tissue can someitmes feel sore much like after a workout.

MFR can also stir up emotions stored in the body, as fascia may hold physical and emotional memories. This is completely normal and often part of the healing process.

How Long Does It Take To Feel Results?Some people feel relief as they get off the table; others notice change over the next few days.

Factors like how long the tension has been there, your overall health, hydration, and stress levels can all play a role.

Can MFR Help With Chronic Pain Or Specific Conditions (e.g., Plantar Fasciitis, Sciatica, TMJ)?Absolutely.

Myofascial release can be especially helpful for chronic pain and tension patterns that haven’t responded to other treatments.

Conditions like plantar fasciitis, sciatica, TMJ dysfunction, and even migraines often have a fascial component that MFR can address.

How Does MFR Impact Posture Or Movement?Releasing restrictions in the fascia can help your body move more freely and naturally.

Over time, this leads to better alignment, improved posture, and greater ease in everyday movements.

It’s like removing the sticky spots that hold you back.

Is MFR Safe For Everyone?For most people, yes

However, if you have certain medical conditions (like blood clots, recent surgery, first trimester of pregnancy, or severe osteoporosis), you should consult with your healthcare provider first.
