Myofascial Release is a very effective technique for relieving pain from the body. Working with the body’s main connective tissue, fascia, can create more ease, range of motion and healthy balance in the body. Facia is manipulated, directly or indirectly, allowing the connective tissue fibers to reorganize themselves in a more flexible. The result is less pain. Because Fascia is located on many levels of body tissue, from between the skin and the underlying structure of muscle and bone, it creates a seamless web of connective tissue that covers and connects the muscles, organs, and skeletal structures. When this system of support and strength is impeded by pain, trauma, strain or tension the body is unable to perform and cope with internal and external stressors. The goal of myofascial release is to work with fascia restrictions in order to restore its tissue health.
