Myofascial Release is a very effective hands-on technique focused on
releasing fascia restrictions all over the body. The practitioner provides
sustained pressure on the restricted areas in order to eliminate pain and
regain motion.

Fascia is a structure that connects each cell in the body without
interruption. It interlaces muscles, bones, organs, veins and nerves. This
tissue therefore connects each part of the body with every other part.

Falcia also participates in the support of our body. Imagine bones as tent
poles and fascia as guide wires. The constant pull of the fascia provides
stability of our postures and movements.

In the healthy state, fascia is relaxed and stretchy, without restriction.
However different kinds of trauma such as falls, whiplash, surgery, even
habitual poor posture, or scarring and
inflammation cause tightness in the fascia.
This tightness can exert immense tension
lading to restriction or pain.

Myofascial Release relieves this tension and
possible pressure on the organs and
muscles. By working with fascia we address
the source of  imbalance in the body.
