Myofascial Release Therapy
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a soft tissue therapeutic approach that provides varied sustained pressures and stretching into restricted areas (bound down tissues) of the body to eliminate pain and restore motion. One of the primary goals of Myofascial Release is to identify the cause of your pain, not just treat the symptoms. We find the pain, look elsewhere for the cause, then treat those areas as well.
Since emotions are also stored in the fascia, releasing the tissue physically can often release emotions stored there from the original trauma. When the emotions connected with the original injury/trauma are released, so are the holding patterns contributing to the current symptoms.
So, What is Fascia?
​Fascia is the only body system that touches and interacts with every other part of your body. It literally connects us from head to toe like a 3-dimensional web from the tops of our heads to the tips of our toes!
Under healthy circumstances, our fascia is relaxed and able to stretch in response to the physical demands we put on our body. It's our natural shock absorber. The fascia protects our body by bracing during an impact, trauma, surgery, or stressful situation. And, it can become bound down with repeated inflammation, overuse, poor posture, disease, physical or emotional trauma or surgery causing chronic pain and limitations of motion throughout the body. These fascial restrictions can put up to 2,000 pounds of pressure per square inch on these pain sensitive structures which can create the feeling of a "pull", "drag" or "straight jacket".
Fascia does not show up on standard tests such as X-rays, MRI's, CAT scans, or electromyography which may be why people go undiagnosed or even misdiagnosed.
We take a whole-body approach to identifying and treating fascial restrictions. We treat your symptoms AND look elsewhere for the cause, and treat those areas as well.
