WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL RELEASE (MFR)?
Myofascial release (aka MFR) is a hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This technique engages the fascial system without harming or overstimulating the surrounding structures.
Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of up to 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography).
Myofascial release can help you get out of pain and get your life back by taking a whole-body approach that treats the root cause of pain, not the symptoms resulting in pain relief that lasts.
Conditions that benefit from this therapy: neck, or back pain, sciatica, nerve compression, scoliosis, fibromyalgia, joint pain, arthritis, jaw pain/TMJ, scar tissue restriction/dysfunction, and more!
