Myofascial Release (MFR) therapy is a whole-body treatment that involves applying gentle, sustained pressure and movement into the fascial system in order to eliminate restrictions. The fascial system is a head-to-toe, interconnected, three-dimensional web of connective tissue that surrounds and passes through every part of our body including muscles, organs and nerves. It even supports the structure of our cells.
Normally the fascial system moves freely but when we sustain trauma through falls, accidents, surgeries, inflammation or repetitive motions & postures, our fascial system starts to solidify. This solidification causes decreased flexibility, pain, and tightness. When our fascia starts to harden in one area, it can put tension on adjacent structures, as well as creating a drag on distant areas. This sets our bodies up for more trauma and pain as we are pulled out of alignment. Over time, this tension can create symptoms such as pain, tenderness, aches, burning, cramping, difficulty breathing, headaches, numbness & tingling, etc.
With consistent treatment, Myofascial Release can help relieve our bodies of the daily aches and pains and allow us to return to a pain-free, active lifestyle.
