Feel Better. Move Better. Live Better.
Specialist Myofascial Release in Derry/Londonderry
Living with ongoing pain, stiffness, tension or restricted movement?
If you've tried massage, stretching or other approaches but still don't feel comfortable in your body, Myofascial Release offers a gentle, whole-body approach.
At MFRNI, I work with your body rather than forcing it — using slow, sustained techniques to support greater ease, comfort and freedom of movement.

What to Expect at Your First Session
If you've never experienced Myofascial Release before, it's natural to have questions. Here's what a typical first visit looks like so you can arrive feeling relaxed and prepared.
Before Your Session
You'll complete a short intake form covering your health history, areas of discomfort, and what you're hoping to achieve. This helps me tailor your treatment to you from the very beginning.
When You Arrive
We'll have a relaxed conversation about what brought you in, any changes you have noticed in your body and what you'd like to get from the sessions. This is also your opportunity to ask any questions before we begin.
During Your Session
MFR is performed directly on the skin without oils or lotions, so you'll be asked to undress to your comfort level. Most clients wear underwear or lights shorts and a sports bra.
Gentle, sustained pressure is applied to the body. Unlike traditional massage, MFR is slow and unhurried, allowing me to respond to your body rather than forcing the tissue.
After Your Session
Everyone responds to MFR differently, you may feel relaxed, notice changes in how your body feels or moves, or simply become more aware of the areas of tension.
Before you leave we'll discuss how the session felt and, where appropriate, I may suggest simple self-treatment techniques to support you between appointments.

Meet Linzi
I'm Linzi Buchanan, founder of Myofascial Release Northern Ireland.
I specialize in the John F Barnes Myofascial Release Approach with more than 400 hours of advanced MFR training and Expert Level status.
My approach is never one-size-fits-all. I take time to listen to you, consider the whole body and respond to what I feel within the tissues as we work together.
Every session is shaped around your body, your history and your goals.
Your body is unique. Your treatment should be too.
