Fascia Release

Self Myofascial Release: The Best Deep Tissue Massage You Give Yourself
Self Myofascial Release (SMR) is a powerful form of soft tissue therapy that targets muscle tension, tightness, and fascial restrictions. The fascial system—made up of muscles, fascia (connective tissue), and tendons—is deeply interconnected, and when one area is restricted, it can affect your entire body. My clients often describe SMR as “the best self-directed deep tissue massage you’ve never had.”

Using soft massage balls helps release muscle knots, improve circulation, relieve pain, and restore healthy movement patterns.

Muscle and fascia are completely interwoven—like the seams of a jumper, when one area is tight or injured, it can pull the whole body out of alignment.

The Roll Model® Method I use combines structured, science-backed sequences to support both prehab and rehab through targeted, self-directed massage. This empowered fascia release technique supports long-term mobility, postural balance, and nervous system regulation from the inside out.

You're not just rubbing a spot, you're following a map. Over time, you build a vocabulary of tension in your body, learning how to read it and respond with intention. It’s not just about rolling on a ball; it’s not random pressure. It’s about precision. Without the right context and sequencing, it’s easy to do it incorrectly.
