What is Fascia?
Fascia is connective tissue that runs head to toes without interruption. Fascia surrounds nerves and blood vessels, spinal cord all the way down to the cellular level. X-Rays, CAT scans, ultrasound and MRIs do not show myofascial restrictions in the tissues. When the fascia is compressed it can cause over 1000 pounds of crushing pressure per square inch pressing on sensitive structures like nerves, blood vessels and organs. Myofascial Release is a gentle moderate, sustained hold into the tissues for a timed release. It's like taking the cover off a pressure cooker to relieve pain and symptoms for long lasting relief.
Why do I need MFR and what should I expect in a session?
MFR is for you if:
- You are tired of not feeling good.
- You're ready to heal.
- You want to participate in your sessions.
- You want to do self-care.
- You're ready to set realistic goals and time frames to heal.
- You want to get off medications.
- You want joy in your life again.
A myofascial therapist will scan the whole body for restrictions and assess for postural dysfunction and balance the pelvis if necessary.. After examination of skin and tissue integrity the skilled hands of the therapist will apply light to moderate timed pressure into the fascia and wait for a release. "This is not a massage" The therapist will repeat this timed pressure into various areas of fascia until each restriction has released enabling muscles to stretch and elongate promoting a lasting effect.
