Myofascial Release is a gentle therapy and can be a very relaxing experience; however, as you find yourself releasing held tension and trauma you could experience something called, "therapeutic pain".  This often surprises people during treatment and anywhere from hours to days following the session. It is not uncommon for mild soreness to occur, painful memories to surface, and other therapeutic changes. This is what happens when we connect with the deep barriers within us. Most of our lives we've pushed emotions down and painful memories aside. This accumulates in our fascia and becomes locked within. Healing can be messy, but necessary for us to let go of what no longer serves us. Allowing yourself to fully experience this discomfort can be life-changing. Much can be resolved in one single session, but follow up sessions may be necessary. You are the best judge of how you feel. Trust yourself and you will begin to deepen your intuitive sense. Speak with your therapist about a treatment plan and reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
