Myofascial Release Therapy

What is fascia and Myofascial Release?

Fascia is a thin connective tissue that runs all over our body in the form of an uninterrupted web that supports the bones, organs, nerves, blood vessels and muscles. Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that focuses on relaxing, lengthening and realigning your fascia. This helps to decrease the fascial restriction and pain and enhance and restore movement. These fascial restrictions are created due to repetitive stress and strain, sports injuries, falls, trauma, motor vehicle accidents, surgical procedures, etc. Due to the above, the fascia becomes tight and uncomfortable, and our body learns to compensate for this injury creating imbalances and pain.



Technique for Myofascial Release:

The practitioner will perform a detailed assessment movement and a hands-on assessment. Normally a fascia that is healthy is pliable and elastic unlike an unhealthy fascia that feels rigid and stiff. These restrictions are not usually in the area of your pain or discomfort, but these restrictions could be the primary source of your pain. The technique involves sustained manual pressure over these restricted areas until a full release is felt by the practitioner. In addition to the release, the practitioner will also give you some self-release techniques to ensure the carry over effects of treatment.
