Frequently Asked Questions
-
Myo = Muscle
Fascia = A type of connective tissue
Fascia is a thin, web like tissue that envelopes and interwines our inner landscape, from just beneath the skin, to muscle bellies and fibres, right down to the periosteum of bones.
Much in the same way the clothes we wear come to reflect the contours of our bodies over time, the ‘weave’ of our fascial network is shaped and influenced by our movements, our posture, as well as by accident, injury or surgery.
-
MRM works directly with the fascia, and given fascia is continuous throughout the body, with no breaks or hiatus, it is a global approach to bodywork.
The strokes are slow & deliberate, gentle but firm. It is not a relaxation style, but it can be deeply soothing. Some discomfort is necessary, as the tension of fascia is alleviated. The real effects of MRM are felt afterwards, when standing once more in gravity.
By releasing the muscle/fascial tissue, we create more ease, range and glide through movement.

MRM is for you if you would like:
Less restriction through movement, such as reaching overhead, squatting and walking.
Improved range of movement.
Reduction in chronic pain arising from repetitive strain injuries, work/life demands and other pathology
Improved Alignment. MRM is supportive of any alignment work, through yoga, pilates, DNS, physiotherapy, CHEK or other holistic modalities. MRM complements and amplifies the net positive effect of these and other supportive therapies.
