Myofascial Release

and it's benefits for physical + emotional trauma

The fascia is a thin but strong layer that surrounds our body parts.  Myofascial release therapy is the release of restricted fascia. When the fascia gets restricted it leads to exhaustion, inflammation, chronic pain and improper functioning of the immune system.  What most people aren’t aware is that the fascia is where emotions and energy get trapped in the body.  When we experience a traumatic event and our body can’t process those emotions in that moment it gets stored in the body until it feels it has the resources to cope with those traumatic events and where it stores it is in the fascia. As the fascia hardens and tightens, it can become painful sore spots or “knots” causing discomfort in our bodies. Myofascial release can help by calming our overactive nervous system, and bringing more coherence into our body by helping activate it’s healing process. It can help us become more aware of our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual state, thereby improving the quality of our lives.

People might experience different emotions during or after sessions, but it is important to give yourself time to process and be gentle with yourself. The sessions are done on a table, and you don’t need to remove your clothes because energy can transfer through surfaces.  I provide a safe, gentle, and compassionate environment in which I hold space and facilitate the release of these suppressed emotions and energy to be expressed and release with love and ease. This will eventually help you become more in tune mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually and most importantly manifest the life you were intended to have. Give yourself permission to break free from all the emotional baggage and behavior patterns that are only holding you down. 

 

I have seen Dr. Karina Monegro a number of times over the last few months. She is an absolute gem in my healing process. Her holistic approach links the emotional to the physical to the spiritual. If you know your exact pain, she will cater her technique to ease it. If you don't know exactly where your pain originates, she will help figure it out. Her approach is gentle and caring. She applies a breadth of knowledge that cannot be overvalued. I access a greater range of (e)emotions and often feel immediate relief from my visits. Finding her has been a gift and game changer.

Yes, I can provide you with a superbill.  Starting 2025 i will no longer accept insurance, currently only a unitedhealthcare provider. 

I work on a massage table. Please wear comfortable clothes like yoga pants or workout clothes that are easy to move in and roll.

My work as a chiropractor is not like the traditional one. I use other methods like spiritual work and crystal healing. If you choose to work with me, it’s because you are ready to let go of negative emotions and take a deeper step towards healing. Sometimes, tears may come, but that’s a normal part of releasing emotions. Don’t feel bad about crying or coming to me for help.

Everyone’s journey is unique and at different stages. The first visit lasts about 90 minutes. Then, there will be a processing time of 24-72 hours where you will be aware of any emotions, thoughts, pain, or tenderness. Depending on how your body reacts, you may schedule a follow-up appointment within a week and continue to book regularly based on your schedule.

Please contact me by email, text, or phone so we can arrange a time where I can respond to any questions you may have. I’m pleased to help.
