Just FYI two options you have are myofascial release and rolfing. Rolfing is myofascial release plus an extra layer of theory about how to target and sequence the releases for maximum long-term effect.
Part of the theory is that these tension patterns tend to exist across the entire body at once, so a rolfer will work on multiple body parts that are all related to the same pattern. The idea is that releasing just one component will cause the tension to just re-form again quickly, because it's also stored in the other places.
