Myofascial Release treats the whole person releasing the cause of problems not just your symptoms.
Myofascial Release is a hands on therapy. Gently stretching and pressures create the internal environment that allows the fascia to soften and return to its normal size, shape, consistency, and function.
We are a honeycomb of fascial tissue from the top of our heads to the soles of our feet. The fascia is the "stuff" that holds us together. The membrane under the skin of a chicken breast is a crude example of the fascia. The fascial tissue holds and supports all of our organs and muscles.
Any form of trauma or injury can cause a restriction in the fascia. In response to trauma, the muscles spasm and fascia shortens causing myofascial restrictions. These restriction may adhere to nerves (causing pain), to bones (causing structural and postural mal-alignment), or to organs (causing dysfunction).
