What is Myofascial Release (MFR)?

MFR is THE RELEASE OF MYOFASCIAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE RESTRICTIONS TO ELIMINATE PAIN AND RESTORE MOTION.

TRAUMA (PHYSICAL & EMOTIONAL), INFLAMMATORY RESPONSES, POOR POSTURE, STRESS, REPETITIVE USE AND/OR SURGICAL PROCEDURES CREATE MYOFASCIAL RESRICTIONS THAT DO NOT SHOW UP ON STANDARD TESTS (MRI, X-RAY, ETC).

THE USE OF MYOFASCIAL RELEASE ALLOWS THE THERAPIST TO LOOK AT EACH PATIENT AS A UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL.

A FASCIAL RESTRICTION CAN CREATE CRUSHING PRESSURE ON PAIN SENSITIVE STRUCTURES OF UP TO 4,000 LBS PER SQUARE INCH!! THE EQUIVALENT OF 2 HORSES STANDING ON YOU!

WE PROMOTE INDEPENDENCE AND EMPOWER PATIENTS THROUGH EDUCATION IN THE PRINCIPLES OF MYOFASCIAL RELEASE AND SELF TREATMENT TECHNIQUES.

Hands-On Treatment

EACH MYOFASCIAL RELEASE TREATMENT SESSION IS PERFORMED DIRECTLY ON SKIN ENABLING THE THERAPIST WITH SKILLED HANDS TO ACCURATELY DETECT FASCIAL RESTRICTIONS AND APPLY THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF SUSTAINED PRESSURE TO FACILITATE RELEASE OF THE FASCIA.

WE START WITH YOUR SYMPTOMS AND LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR THE CAUSE. CONTINUOUSLY OBSERVING SUBTLE CHANGES IN THE BODY, ALLOWING THE BODY TO GUIDE THE THERAPIST TO THE AREAS THAT NEED TO BE RELEASED NEXT.
