What is keeping you up at night?

Individualized therapy at The Pain Relief Center…

Safe, gentle, and powerfully effective.


I make one promise: You will feel lasting changes in
two to three sessions. Period.


The Pain Relief Center is located in Rochester, NY.  My name is Walt Fritz and I founded the Center with a vision of providing comprehensive individualized treatment for the relief of pain, restoration of posture, and the return to function. Utilizing a method called Myofascial Release I am able to address problems that have not responded to previous surgeries, therapies, and medications, bringing about positive and lasting changes. While I can effectively
help people who have unsuccessfully tried a other interventions, those who are seeking a fresh approach to a new problem will also find success. “Pain Relief” is a rather narrow term when it comes to describing the work that I do. Not all clients come to me as a result of pain; many are looking to regain a quality of life that they are missing. Clients of all ages can find solutions at the Pain Relief Center.

I am a licensed physical therapist with a B.S. in Physical Therapy and B.A. in Community Mental Health from SUNY Buffalo. Sessions at the Pain Relief Center are unlike any physical therapy you’ve ever tried. I’ve been actively practicing Myofascial Release since 1992 and am the most experienced Myofascial Release practitioner in the Central and Western New York region, including Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, and the Southern Tier. I have instructed at
over fifty Myofascial Release Seminars in the United States and Canada, completed Myofascial Release Seminars training through the advanced levels, and wrote the foreword to John Barnes’ most recent book “Healing Ancient Wounds”. I am proud to now lead the Foundations in Myofascial Release Seminars™ . With 24 years experience as a physical therapist, I am able to combine the best of traditional physical therapy interventions with the state of the art methods of Myofascial Release.

Experience makes the difference
