Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is a whole-body, hands-on approach for the evaluand treatment of the human body. Its focus is the fascial system. Fascia is a tough connective tissue that spreads throughout the body in a three-dimensional web that extends without interruption from the top of the head to the tip of the toes.

This tissue covers the muscles, bones, nerves, organs, and vessels down to the cellular level. It has been estimated that fascia has a tensile strength of as much as 2000 pounds per square inch. Therefore, malfunction of the system due to trigger points, trauma or inflammation can bind down the fascia, resulting in pain and abnormal pressure on any or all of these body components causing pain and discomfort.
