Myofascial Release
What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release is a highly specialised stretching technique to treat patients with a variety of soft tissue problems.
Fascia is a thin tissue that covers all the organs of the body, every muscle and every fibre within each muscle.
When muscle fibres are injured, the fibres and the fascia which surrounds it become short and tight. This uneven stress can be transmitted through the fascia to other parts of the body, causing pain and a variety of other symptoms in areas you often wouldn't expect.
Myofascial Release treats these symptoms by releasing the uneven tightness in injured fascia.
Myofascial Release is used to equalize muscle tension throughout the body, which can compress nerves and muscles causing pain. Progress is measured by a decrease in the pain and by an improvement in overall posture.
