Myofascial Release for Women in Encinitas
Myofascial release is slow, focused bodywork on fascia, the connective tissue that wraps and links your muscles. At Her Femina Studio in Encinitas, it is the heart of The Ultimate Massage. It is for women whose tension keeps coming back in the same places: the neck, shoulders, jaw, low back, and hips.
How it feels
Pressure is sustained and unhurried. Instead of gliding quickly, I wait for the tissue to soften under my hands. Some areas may feel intense in a good way. You are always in charge of the pressure.
I read the body first
When my hands meet a muscle, I can often feel how you use it every day. The leg you balance on. The hip you hold a little higher. The shoulder that braces before you even notice. That is how I decide where to work and how deep to go, so the session follows your body, not a routine.
Who it is for
Women with long standing neck, shoulder, back, or hip tension
Women whose relief from regular massage fades within days
Desk workers, mothers who carry and lift, and active women
Women who hold stress in the jaw and head
If you have a recent injury or a medical condition, please check with your doctor or physical therapist first. Myofascial work can be a good companion to physical therapy.
Posture from the ground up
Tension in your shoulders can begin at your feet. I often look at how you stand and balance, then work upward, so your posture can return without being forced.

Questions
Is myofascial release the same as deep tissue massage?
They overlap. Deep tissue focuses on deeper muscle layers. Myofascial release focuses on the connective tissue around and between them, with slower, sustained pressure. I often use both.
Will I be sore after?
Some women feel a little tender for a day, like after a good workout. Drink water and move gently.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on how long your body has held the pattern. We will talk about a plan after your first session.
In their words
"Martine has the most kind and listening heart. She made me feel comfortable immediately and talking with her about my areas of pain was easy. She remembered everything that was said and covered the areas perfectly. My chronic tension in my shoulders and low back was gone! I highly recommend this studio with all my heart and cannot wait to go back!"
