Let's start at the very Beginning...

that's a very good place to start!

So what is Myofascial Release?

Myofascial Release is not a massage, rather it is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. The use of Myofascial Release allows us to look at each patient as a unique individual. Our one-on-one therapy sessions are hands-on treatments during which our therapists use a multitude of Myofascial Release techniques and movement therapy. We promote independence through education in proper body mechanics and movement, self treatment instruction, enhancement of strength, improved flexibility, and postural and movement awareness.
Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery. This enables the therapist to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.

What else it is is a highly effective pain release modality. It is at times extremely gentle, other times, not as gentle, but when applied properly, extremely successful in solving chronic pain issues.

More to come...
