Myofascial Release and Wellness of Tampa Bay

I have been searching for my new go-to therapist since I moved to St Pete ... that search is now over! Heather immediately made me feel comfortable in her space, setting aside time for a thorough consultation before beginning treatment. The massage is exactly what I needed: intentional, slow, allowing the muscles to relax & realign. As a massage therapist myself, I can be very particular about the kinds of massage I receive, and I am so grateful to have found Heather. She also took the time to really guide me through homecare, something I know I should be doing but often neglect. Thanks to the handouts she provided me, I have been consistent so far :)
I am looking forward to further massage appointments with Heather and continuing my journey to a healthier, pain-free lifestyle.

If I could give Heather Bryan's Myofascial Release practice ten stars I would, for all the following reasons:
Most importantly, my back pain level is 100 percent better after only one session. It is not completely gone, but I now have self-therapy tools that Heather taught me so I don't have to continue to suffer or rely on medication.
Secondly, I felt "heard" throughout my session. This kind of personal attention and connection is essential to the therapy. MFR as practiced by Heather, unlike many other therapies, is a process that is not painful, sudden, violent, or extreme in any way. It is gentle and subtle. I found it useful to read about MFR in advance of my appointment, BTW.
MFR and Wellness of Tampa Bay is professional, comfortable, safe, and extremely clean. I did not feel pressured to schedule follow-up sessions but did so anyway for one for a month out because I want to continue to receive the benefits of this therapy.

First impressions: Heather was scheduling appointments a month out. The charmingly decorated house that serves as office/treatment center is immaculately clean. Masks are mandatory, if that is of comfort to you. You may be greeted by Monkey, an adorable little rescue dog.
Heather put me right at ease with her ability to answer all my questions and more. She is personable and quite knowledgeably informs you about what she is doing and why as she does her gentle stretching work with the fascia. I had come in with a lot of discomfort in my neck, shoulders and arms. I left feeling some relief and with tools and homework to do. We ultimately are responsible for our own health and it is empowering to be gifted with the knowledge of how to perform myofascial self care at a basic level.
I will need to schedule further treatment and should think about doing that soon! Heather is highly recommended if you value professionalism, skill and kindness.

You will be in solid hands with Heather. Her knowledge, training and techniques are broad and deep. She is very talented in the myofascial release. She easily shares so much information and proposes ongoing activities to continue your journey if wanted. She provides a lovely peaceful setting which is very quiet and private to visit. I highly recommend Heather and the Myofascial Release.

Heather is amazing at what she does! She helped my son after his tongue tie release and discovered it had reattached. We were able to get it re-revised and are working towards preventing it from happening again. She has helped my son and I with breastfeeding and seeing her has made a huge difference! She is so kind and professional and makes you feel at home. We are so thankful to have found her!
