What Is Myofascial Release (MFR)?

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a specialized therapy that targets the body’s connective tissue — the fascia — to unlock restrictions that limit mobility and cause pain.


It beautifully complements the practice of Pilates by helping muscles and joints move more freely, allowing for greater ease, flexibility, and freedom of movement.



While Pilates focuses on controlled, mindful alignment and strength, MFR works deeply and gently to release tension, adhesions, and chronic holding patterns. Together, they help you move, feel, and live better.

What Clients Are Saying

I had an excellent experience with my myofascial release massage with Jacob! It was my first MFR massage and Jacob took time to understand my problem areas before starting. The session was both relaxing and effective - I could actually feel movement in tight muscle groups as they relaxed and had noticeable improvement in my flexibility and pain relief right away. Highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for real results and a caring, knowledgeable therapist!

I've been a client of PCA for many years and I love their classes and instructors. I just added in some Myofascial Release (MFR) sessions with Jacob and I can feel my body changing with that addition. Between the classes and MFR my posture is so much better and my back pain is gone. Thanks for keeping me strong, PCA!

I started coming here after an accident. I’d had surgery and physical therapy, but I was still in pain that was increasing as time went on. The Pilates Center of Austin is more than Pilates, it is a place for physical healing and professional support. They focus on your personal needs to recover, strengthen and build a better understanding of your body and how to care for it.
Because it is a small space, you don’t feel overwhelmed and they only hold one-on-one sessions or small group classes.This adds to the focused care that is needed to heal and grow.

They have recently added myofascial release (MFR) to the Center. I have had several sessions with Jacob, who offers a therapeutic MFR…I won’t return to the former MFR work I’ve had that was painful. I’ve learned it doesn’t have to be painful to work and, in fact, I am increasing my flexibility while decreasing my pain with Jacob’s sessions.

I have made my weekly sessions a priority and continue to see pain improvement as well as overall body strength that my routine gym and yoga workouts don’t provide.

As a standalone exercise or a compliment to your existing program, this is a place that will teach you more about your body’s unique structure and how best to care for it. Besides, they have a yoga wall and fabulous small classes. What a wonderful way to stay strong and healthy that truly helps with combating the body’s aging process."

After five years in the fire service, I knew it was time for a career change. At first I was unsure if I truly would enjoy this field of work, but after studying and training I find that I learn and enjoy what I do each and every day.


The training I underwent to be an EMT/FF and the 5+ years of experience was very helpful and made for a smooth transition into the knowledge needed to be an LMT/MFR Practitioner. Massage school and MFR training showed me a whole different side of the human body, it taught me the importance of looking deeper and learn to focus on finding the root cause, verses the symptoms of any given condition.



I truly believe in Myofascial Release and the healing it brings. I look forward to doing my best to facilitate healing for all of my clients.
