Dealing with Chronic Pain?
What Our Clients Say
When the Pain Runs Deeper Than Muscle
Most treatments go after the muscle. Myofascial release goes after the web of connective tissue wrapped around it — the fascia. When fascia tightens from injury, stress, poor posture, or repetitive movement, it creates a grip that no amount of stretching or standard massage can fully undo. At MetaTouch in Culver City, CA, Holden Zalma and his team have spent over 30 years learning exactly where that grip lives — and exactly how to release it. If you’ve tried everything else and still can’t get rid of the pain, this is likely why.
What Changes When the Fascia Lets Go
Most people are surprised by how much shifts in a single session. Myofascial release doesn’t just feel different — it produces results that other therapies often can’t replicate. Here’s what our clients consistently experience:
- Pain That Finally Stays Gone – By releasing the fascial restrictions causing your symptoms, we address the source — not just the spot that hurts.
- Movement That Feels Effortless Again – Restricted fascia makes everything feel stiff and labored. Once it releases, clients often describe feeling lighter than they have in years.
- Posture That Corrects Itself – Fascial tension pulls the body out of alignment over time. Releasing it allows the body to naturally return to its proper position without forcing it.
- Nervous System Relief – Fascia is loaded with sensory nerve endings. When it’s under tension, your nervous system stays in a constant low-grade stress state. Release the fascia, and the whole system calms down.
- Results That Build Over Time – Unlike treatments that wear off, myofascial release creates cumulative improvement — each session builds on the las
Your First Session, Step by Step
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Every myofascial release session at MetaTouch is built around your body, your history, and your specific pattern of restriction. Here’s how it works:
- A Real Conversation First – Before any hands-on work begins, your therapist takes time to understand your pain history, daily movement habits, and what hasn’t worked before. This shapes everything that follows.
- Finding the Restriction, Not Just the Pain – Where it hurts and where the problem lives are often two different places. We assess your fascial patterns to find the actual source before we start treatment.
- Sustained, Precise Release Work – Using slow, intentional pressure held at specific points in the fascial system, your therapist guides the tissue through its natural release. There’s no forcing — the fascia responds to patience and precision.
- Leaving With a Plan – Your session ends with specific guidance on movement, hydration, and stretching so the work continues after you walk out the door.

FAQs
What is myofascial release therapy?
Myofascial release targets the fascia — the connective tissue surrounding muscles throughout the body. Using slow, sustained pressure, the therapist elongates and releases fascial restrictions that cause chronic pain, postural problems, and limited movement. MetaTouch in Culver City uses myofascial release as both a standalone and integrated treatment.
What conditions does myofascial release treat?
Myofascial release is effective for neck and shoulder stiffness, lower back pain, postural imbalances, fibromyalgia, headaches, TMJ dysfunction, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and general chronic pain. It works by addressing the fascial system rather than individual muscles in isolation.
Is myofascial release painful?
Myofascial release uses gentle, sustained pressure — it should feel like a tolerable stretch, not sharp pain. Because fascia responds to slow sustained pressure rather than force, the technique is typically less intense than deep tissue massage while often achieving deeper structural changes.
How many myofascial release sessions do I need?
For acute tension or postural discomfort, 3–6 sessions often produce significant improvement. For long-standing fascial restrictions or fibromyalgia, 8–12 sessions may be recommended for lasting results. MetaTouch therapists assess your specific condition and create a personalized session plan.
