Myofascial Release

​

This innovative form of bodywork is considered to be the ultimate in mind/body therapy.  It is a safe and gentle whole-body approach that consistently produces results that last.  Fascia is a tough connective tissue that surrounds and supports every nerve, blood vessel, muscle, bone and organ in our body.  It is a three dimensional web or netting that runs throughout the body uninterrupted from head to toe.  Fascia secretes a fluid called serous fluid which helps to keep our muscles and organs viscous in order to glide over each other more efficiently through movement.  This tissue also has a tensile strength of up to 1500 lbs. per square inch.  This fascial matrix which holds us together is the very fiber of our being.  When we experience trauma i.e., auto accidents, sporting injuries, surgical procedures, repetitive stress injuries, even poor posture from improper body mechanics while at work will create scar tissue.  This tissue can become bound and knotted applying excessive pressure on our vital structures causing pain and/or limiting our movement.  Internal stressors such as mental and/or emotional issues also play a major role in the constriction of organ and fascial tissues.  Most people with myofascial pain syndrome will go undiagnosed, because the standard tests such as x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans electromyography, etc., do not show these fascial restrictions.
