This treatment enables the therapist to detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.

"For more than fifteen years my wife and I have benefited consistently from our massage therapy sessions with Lori Hollingsworth. Of all the massage professionals that we have used for the past 25 years, she is the best without exception. She can find the causes of discomfort or pain, and remedy them with her strong, versatile technique. As a result, our overall health is better than it would be had we never met Lori. I recommend her without qualification." --Dr. Jan F. Kreider |
