It's Possible To HEAL.
Not manage. Not cope. Not compensate. A progressive, trademarked method that ends chronic pain and restores the movement you thought you'd lost — for good.
"Most men in their 40s and 50s accept pain as the price of getting older. It's not."
You've Tried EVERYTHING.
Healthcare suppresses symptoms. It doesn't resolve causes. Surgery, injections, chiropractic, massage — they treat the spot that hurts, not why it hurts.
"After 8 years of debilitating personal back pain, Michael Sudbury refused the narrative that this was just his lot in life. Deep study of movement led to discoveries that actually change how much pain a person is in — regardless of age or genetics."
Not Therapy. Not Massage. A METHOD.
The Release Works Method of Healing™ is a trademarked, personalized, progressive protocol — with a clear beginning, a measurable middle, and a defined end: a client who owns their healing.
Assess the Root
A postural assessment reveals exactly why you've been in pain — and why nothing else worked. The proof arrives in the first session.
Release & Restore
Gentle, sustained myofascial pressure unwinds fascial restrictions deep in tissue — restoring mobility, reducing pain, letting your body heal itself.
Own Your Healing
You leave with a lifelong practice, not a dependency. Movement coaching and self-care give you the tools to maintain and continue improving.
"The fascial system surrounds every muscle, organ, nerve, and cell in your body. When restricted — from injury, surgery, or accumulated stress — it creates up to 2,000 lbs of pressure per square inch on surrounding tissue. Most treatments never touch it."
Do the Work. THE RESULTS ARE INEVITABLE.
"After five spinal surgeries and a knee replacement, I was still in constant pain. After seven visits, I'm sleeping through the night, pain is reducing, and I'm standing taller — without opiates for the first time in twenty years."

"I tried acupuncture, TENS units, yoga — nothing lasted more than an hour. After 3 months at Release Works I'm back to hiking, climbing, skiing, and yoga regularly. The change has been lasting."

"I have never worked with anyone in the healing space who can do and teach what Michael can. Best health investment I've ever made."

What is myofascial release?+
Think of your fascia as the suit of your body. Every structure, organ, bone, nerve, and cell is connected via continuous weaving fibers, supporting and shaping you from head to toe. When you're injured, these fibers become glued and bound, no longer gliding as they should. This leads to a ripple effect of distortions — chronic joint pain, stiffness, headaches, and more. Myofascial release is a form of healing that supports the body to change and heal itself through gentle, sustained hands-on pressure into areas of restricted tissue.
Will myofascial release work for me?+
When life is slowed down or stopped by pain, it's frustrating to spend time, money, and energy on things that promise to help — only to be let down. We promise that if you allow things to change, you will see change. As you work the program, learn to reconnect with your own intuitive healing nature, give yourself the time needed in each stage — never forcing or rushing — and commit to regaining control of your life, you will see change. We will help you find what's getting in your way, identify what works for you, and support you in the ways you need most. You will experience more improvement than just "the thing."
