What is Myofascial Release?

Myofascial Release Stretch Therapy is a

Fundamental Tool for :

*releasing muscle and nerve pain

*rebalancing the nervous system

*creating balanced and healthy tension through out body

*unwinding movement patterns that are keeping us stuck in the pain.

What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial release, along with therapeutic exercise (mobility movement) and movement therapy (mobility stretches/yoga), improve the vertical alignment, and lengthen the body providing more space for the proper functioning of nerves, osseous structures, blood vessels, and organs. The gentle tractioning forces applied to the fascial restrictions will elicit heat, a vasomotor response that increases blood flow to the affected area, enhance lymphatic drainage of toxic metabolic wastes, realign fascial planes, and most important, reset the soft tissue proprioceptive sensory mechanism. This last activity reprograms the central nervous systems enabling a normal functional range of motion without eliciting the old pain pattern. The goal is to remove fascial restrictions and restore the body’s equilibrium. When the structure has been returned to a balanced state, it is realigned with gravity. When these aims have been accomplished, the body’s inherent ability to self-correct returns, thus restoring optimum function and performance with the least amount of energy expenditure. The barrier of the fascial restriction cannot be forced; it is too strong. Instead gentle sustained pressure will release it.

What are Myofascial Restrictions?
Fascia reorganizes along the lines of tension imposed on the body, adding support to misalignment and contracting to protect the individual from further trauma (real or imagined). This has the potential to alter organ and tissue physiology significantly. Fascial strains can slowly tighten, causing the body to lose its physiologic adaptive capacity (potential energy). Over time the the tightness spreads like a pull in a sweater or stocking. Flexibility and spontaneity of movement are lost, setting the body up for more trauma, pain, and limitation of movement. These powerful fascial restrictions begin to pull the body out of its three-dimensional alignment with the vertical gravitation axis, causing biomechanically inefficient, highly energy-consuming movement and posture. ( strain, pressure, nerve prickles, muscle fatigue, pinching pains, etc)
