Self-Myofascial Release (SMR)
Hydrate. Mobilize. Renew.
Pain That Keeps Coming Back?
If your body feels bound, heavy, or imbalanced, your myofascia may be the missing link.
Most people aren’t taught how to care for this vital tissue — yet it shapes how we move and function every day. SMR offers a gentle, intelligent way to restore fluidity, freedom, and connection.
What Is SMR?
It is a movement-based self-care method that restores glide, hydration, and elasticity to the myofascial network — the connective tissue web surrounding muscles, joints, and bones.
Using soft tools like air-filled and rubber balls, along with guided positioning, breath, and supported setups, SMR helps you:
- Release myofascial restrictions
- Improve joint mobility and tissue elasticity
- Repattern postural balance and movement clarity
- Enhance recovery and reduce physical strain
- Empower yourself or your clients with effective, portable self-care tools
SMR goes far beyond stretching or foam rolling — it works with the body’s natural design rather than pushing through resistance.
How It Works
Myofascia is highly intelligent and extremely sensitive.
It responds best to release work that is mindful, not forceful. SMR encourages that “hurt-so-good” sensation — where tissue yields, not resists.
Kat’s SMR techniques are grounded in an understanding of myofascial line connectivity, as mapped by Anatomy Trains® (Thomas Myers), which proves how movement — not just manipulation — is essential to restoring whole-body myofascial function.
Her approach blends these scientific insights with foundational certifications and training from Yamuna Zake, Eric Franklin, and Jill Miller — integrating breath, precision, and movement-based tissue work into a method that is uniquely her own.
