Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release can be the answer to resolving a variety of pain conditions. It is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying extremely gentle, sustained pressure into your fascial system. It can locate and release tension and restrictions that have built up over many years, and therefore can have a profound effect on your overall health and wellbeing.

So, what is fascia?  

Fascia is a very specialized system in our body. It resembles an elaborate and very densely woven web that surrounds and interconnects every muscle, bone, nerve, artery, vein, and all of our internal organs.  Just like the yarn in your sweater, it is one continuous structure, existing from head to toe without interruption. 

 Because of fascia…

Every part of your entire body is connected to every other part

The location of your pain may not necessarily be the source of your pain.

Under normal healthy circumstances

Fascia is smooth, relaxed and flexible. This allows your muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels and organs to move freely, so you can meet the demands of your life and do what you love without pain or restrictions.

Under stressful circumstances

Fascia becomes hard, tight and restricted and can cause intense pain and limitations to motion, like an internal straitjacket. Repetitive stress, poor posture, physical or emotional trauma, surgery and chronic inflammation can all lead to restrictions in fascia.

Because standard diagnostic tests such as x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, and electromyography do not show myofascial restrictions, many people with myofascial restrictions are undiagnosed and even misdiagnosed. 

Myofascial release treatments can locate and release these hidden restrictions and save you from hours and hours of wasted time treating the wrong area and days or even years of taking unnecessary medication or suffering through daily activities.
