Myofascial Release Massage Therapy

You Don’t Have To Live With Pain “I give Lydia huge credit for getting my mobility back after major shoulder surgery and 3 months of healing. Massages with Lydia keep me riding.”

Lydia experienced the power of myofascial release therapy firsthand after a fall down a flight of concrete steps. She did myofascial releases on herself, starting with the topmost muscle layer and working deeper as the tissues released.

The body has 6 to 10 times more fascia than muscle fibers. Fascia contains more nerve endings than any other tissue. Changing Muscle memory by releasing the fascia increases range of motion, flexibility, and reduces pain, soreness and discomfort.

“After myofascial release sessions with Lydia, I’m straight in the saddle and the pain is gone. It’s made a big difference in my life.”

Myra and Mama B

Kerryann and Lady Zonik

“I learned firsthand that you don’t have to live with pain.”

Lydia M. Serrano, LMT, BCTMB Board Certified Licensed Massage Therapist
