Don't resign yourself to living with chronic pain.

When you have a herniated disc, sciatica, or recurring lower back pain, your body protects itself by becoming stiff. Sometimes, the pain isn’t where you think it is, but rather a reflection of a blockage elsewhere. My approach isn’t just to “treat where it hurts,” but to trace the chain of injury. I use myofascial and neurofascial induction techniques and deep manual therapy to release the structure at its root, rather than just applying a temporary fix.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is myofascial release?March 26, 2026, 10:25:11 AM

It is a manual technique that works on the fascia, a membrane that covers the body's muscles and tissues. Its goal is to release restrictions and improve mobility.

Is it a massage?March 26, 2026, 10:25:20 AM

Not exactly. Although the hands are used, it’s not a relaxing massage like those offered at beauty salons or spas. It’s a specific therapeutic treatment.

Why is it that sometimes the area treated is different from where it hurts?March 26, 2026, 10:25:30 AM

Because the body's tensions are connected through the fascia. Sometimes the source of the problem lies in another part of the body.

Are oils or creams used?March 26, 2026, 10:25:38 AM

No. Myofascial release techniques are performed without oils or creams in order to work the tissue more effectively.
