About Release Works | Myofascial Release of Salt Lake
Release Works | Myofascial Release of Salt Lake is a place dedicated to helping people regain a body that functions well and feels good, without the need for painkillers, injections, or surgery. The clinic focuses on changing how individuals approach their health by promoting movement and repair. Their goal is to help clients live with less pain, less fear, and more joy through effective therapy. The massage therapists at Release Works have extensive experience, with one having practiced Myofascial Release for 15 out of their 18 years in the field. Customers praise the fantastic customer service and therapy, describing the therapists as intuitive, educated, and well-practiced in treating their clients. Many have experienced long-lasting improvements in their capacity to move, less pain, and more flexibility. While the building housing Release Works may be older and in need of some maintenance, the therapy sessions themselves are considered worth every penny and commute. Customers highly recommend the services, especially the work of Kassandra, who is described as a master of her craft, intuitive, and healing. Recent reviews highlight the effectiveness of the treatments. One client shared how Michael helped resolve long-standing ankle and foot issues after visiting multiple specialists, with noticeable progress in just two visits. Another mentioned how Michael’s hands-on work and explanations helped reduce severe pain related to a hip misalignment in only two sessions. A different client described how Michael’s approach eased tremendous pain, explaining that his warm and friendly manner instantly made them feel at ease and left them feeling better, with continued improvement afterward. Many customers emphasize that if someone is in pain or has been suffering for a long time, this therapy offers a real solution. People often try medications, massages, stretching, or yoga with limited success, but fascia-focused treatment targets the root of the problem. Fascia is a multi-layered tissue under the skin that holds the body together, and injuries or trauma can cause it to get stretched or crunched, leading to pain and misalignment. Myofascial release works to straighten out these tissues, helping the body function properly again. Treatment may take time, especially if the body has been compensating for injuries for years. For example, one client shared how treating the fascia above and below an injured knee, along with gentle stretching of the hip, psoas, and lower back, helped reduce swelling and restore range of motion, allowing them to return to activities like riding again. Another recent patient with long covid and mononucleosis experienced relief from brain fog after fascia work on their head, face, neck, and chest, which helped improve lymph flow and clear waste buildup. The clinic’s approach is holistic, focusing on the interconnectedness of the body’s tissues. Patients are encouraged to keep an open mind and trust the process, knowing that effective results come gradually with consistent treatment.
Michael has been instrumental in helping me improve my mobility, reduce headaches and back pain. On top of that, I have experienced major improvement in the occurrence of pain from a sliding hiatal hernia. I highly recommend him for any pain or problems you may be dealing with, both emotional and physical.
My 4 year old daughter had myofascial release done last week and it has helped her a lot. Prior to the appointment she would complain of leg pain and would wake up screaming and crying every night since she was very little. She has had lots of doctors appointments with tests to rule out things such as childhood cancers, anemia, etc. The doctors weren’t sure what was wrong other than night terrors. After her 60 min session, which was non invasive and non painful, we went home and she went to bed. She slept almost all night, however, never cried out in pain. Now when she wakes up in the middle of the night, it’s just to ask if she can sleep in my bed, but no more “night terrors” or screaming and crying in pain. We look forward to future appointments for the whole family.
