• What is Myofascial Release? Myofascial Release (MFR) is a safe and effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. Gentle pressure is slowly applied allowing a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate. The gentle traction applied to the restricted fascia will result in heat and increased blood flow. This enhances the relief of pain and improves the quantity and quality of motion and function. The goal is to return order and equilibrium to the whole person. Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many standardized tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.) The medical approach is to medicate patients so they are temporarily free from pain, but does nothing about the cause. Traditional physical, occupational and massage therapy treats the symptoms caused by the pressure on the Myofascial system, but does nothing about the causes. This is why so many patients only have temporary results, never seeming to improve with traditional therapy. Only Myofascial Release treats the entire Myofascial mind/body complex eliminating the pressure of the restrictions in the Myofascial system that cause the symptoms. Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed directly on skin without oils or creams. This enables the therapist to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia. Myofascial Release will safely and gently release the entire Myofascial complex for lasting and comprehensive results and authentic healing. Fascia Fascia is a specialized, physiologic system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider's web or a sweater. It is very densely woven, covering and interpenetrating each muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as, all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. Fascia separates, supports, connects and protects everything in our bodies. The most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that it is not just a system of separate coverings; it is actually one continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption. In this way you can begin to see that each part of the entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia, like the yarn in a sweater. In the normal healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration. It has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. When one experiences physical trauma, emotional trauma, scarring, or inflammation, however, the fascia loses its pliability. It becomes tight, restricted, and a source of tension to the rest of the body. Trauma, such as a fall, car accident, whiplash, surgery or just habitual poor posture and repetitive stress injuries has cumulative effects on the body. The changes trauma causes in the fascial system influences comfort and function of our body. Fascial restrictions can exert excessive pressure causing numerous types of symptoms, producing pain, headaches or restriction of motion. Fascial restrictions affect our flexibility and stability, and are a determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and perform daily activities.
