One area per session, not the whole body

In this session we pick one region together — the back and neck, the hips, the legs — and I work point by point on the fascia, the layer that wraps the muscle. That is usually where the tension lives that comes back to the same spot, even after a full night's sleep.

Staying with one area that long takes up most of the 75 minutes. The rest of the session is a relaxing part, with a steadier rhythm, so the body comes out of the guard it goes into when the pressure is firm.

That is why the session is sold as one area plus a relaxing part rather than as a full body: in 75 minutes, one thing can be done properly.

Who usually books this session

  • Neck and shoulders that lock on the same side every time
  • A lower back loaded from long hours sitting or standing
  • Short hips from a day in a chair
  • A local tension you can already point at with one finger

If the tension is spread across the whole back rather than concentrated in one spot, deep tissue is usually the better choice.

How we choose the area

You tell me on WhatsApp what is bothering you before I arrive, and we decide together which region gets the deeper work. During the session I ask where the pressure is right and where it needs adjusting. Suffering in silence is not the idea.

What this session does not do

Massage therapy does not treat illness and does not replace a medical appointment. What I work on is muscle and tension: relief from muscular pain, less stress, a better quality of life.

Pain that appeared after a fall, pain with a fever, tingling or loss of strength is a matter for a doctor first. I come after that assessment, not instead of it.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions about myofascial release

How is it different from a therapeutic massage?

They are two different sessions, and I do not treat one as the other. Myofascial release is one area worked deeply plus a relaxing part, in 75 minutes for R$ 300. Therapeutic massage is its own session, with a set price when it comes together with cupping.

Can you work on more than one area in the same session?

Yes. The release can be done on any part of the body, and you are the one who chooses. The usual session is one area worked in depth plus the relaxing part; if you would rather split the 75 minutes between two areas, tell me before you book and we plan it that way.

Does it hurt?

The pressure is firm on the tightest points, and the first minutes usually feel uncomfortable. I ask during the session how the pressure is and adjust from your answer.

Do I need to prepare anything?

No. I need about three square metres of free floor, near a socket if the session uses a device. The sheets and towels are mine: sterilised, and each one used only once before being sterilised again.
