Myofascial Therapy

Fascia is the connective tissue that holds your body together. This treatment is ideal for those looking to improve their range of motion, increase the pliability of scar tissue, release tension, and correct muscle imbalances. The therapy targets both superficial and deep fascia, employing slow pulling and pushing movements at various depths directly on the skin with minimal to no lubrication. While myofascial therapy is included in medical massage when necessary, Bergmann also offers it as a standalone treatment.

FAQ's About Myofascial Therapy

Please reach Gudjon Bergmann (LMT, MMP) at contactmindfulhands@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Bergmann evaluates the body for muscle imbalances, tightness, and range of motion. He then stretches and manipulates the superficial and deep layers of fascia to make them more pliable. To enhance the effectiveness of the treatment, clients may be asked to engage in breathing and movements.


Myofascial therapy offers numerous benefits. Many clients report feeling more balanced, open, and relaxed, contributing to a healthier and more active lifestyle. The key advantages of this therapy include:


  1. Relief from chronic pain, such as back and neck pain, as well as headaches.
  2. Enhanced range of motion, making movement easier.
  3. Promotion of deep relaxation, which helps reduce stress and anxiety.
  4. Correction of muscle imbalances, leading to improved posture and reduced strain.
  5. Facilitation of the release of emotional tension that may be stored in the body.


As with all bodywork, the effectiveness depends on your tension levels, adhesion strength, treatment goals, and budget. Although there are no strict rules, achieving the desired pliability typically requires more than one session.


Myofascial therapy follows most of the principles of John Barnes' "myofascial release" protocols. However, many practitioners, including Bergmann, now refer to these practices as myofascial "induction" or "therapy." The primary goal of enhancing fascia pliability remains unchanged.


While myofascial therapy may seem gentle, it can be quite intense and may lead to both physical and emotional releases. For this reason, Bergmann offers only 30- and 60-minute sessions. Attending sessions more frequently is more effective than trying to cover everything in one appointment.

"He expertly focused on areas of tension, leaving me completely relaxed and rejuvenated but more importantly feeling like I can make progress towards healing. I highly recommend Gudjon and will definitely be returning!"
