♠Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy to release muscle fascia. An assessment is made by visually analyzing the human frame and palpating the tissue texture of various fascial layers, located an area of fascial tensions, then gentle pressure is applied in the direction of restricted. It’s an effective therapeutic approach to relieve cervical pain, back pain, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, neurological dysfunction, restriction of motion, chronic pain, and headaches.

Testimonials

I have been a customer of Naphawan O'Shea's for several years and could not give a stronger recommendation with regard to her professional holistic healing services.

Patrick Hogan, Arlington, VA - medical massage -

I felt the difference after the first session. I had less pain and felt looser. I followed up 1-2 times a month and after 3 months, all the pain was gone. Last year I had a stroke; I couldn’t move my left arm and leg.

C. Hector, Alexandria, VA - Thai medical massage- 2012

I could walk and move easier right away after the first session and I slept better at night because I had less pain. Massages from Naphawan are the best I’ve ever had!

PC. Lawyer, Woodbridge, VA -physical therapy- 2012

Because she works on my whole body and give me a lot of stretching, I feel very loose and more flexible than I did before and my neck, shoulders, and upper back feel much better.

RR. Military, Manassas, VA

It helped loosen up my muscles, unlocked stiff joints, increased mobility, and reduced pain. I could walk and move easier right away after the first session and I slept better at night because I had less pain.
