Myofascial release can help soothe the symptoms of:
- Muscle and joint pain
- Migraine headaches
- Back pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Injuries due to poor shoulder or hip alignment
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
What is myofascial release?
Myofascial release techniques relax and lengthen muscles, soft tissues, reduces pain and increases immune function. This is achieved by applying light, gentle sustained pressure on your soft tissues to release fascial blockages and restrictions. Myofascial release therapy eliminates pain caused by muscles or other connective tissues that are “tied down” by tight fascia. Also, damaged fascial tissue can contribute to pain at “trigger points” that restrict blood flow to nearby areas, causing the damage to spread. As a myofascial release practitioner I can help you regain function and flexibility after any injuries and treat chronic pain in many parts of your body.
What is fasica?
Connective tissues called fascia surround our muscles and envelop our entire bodies. Fasciae also play a key role in regulating our immune systems. However, inflammation, fibrosis, and thickening of our fascia can limit our range of motion and cause pain.
Interesting points:
Injuries, inflammations, and surgeries can restrict fascia and create many health problems. For example, fascial restrictions can put up to 2,000 pounds per square inch (psi) on sensitive internal organs and structures, causing great pain. Additionally, fascial restrictions don’t show up on most body scans (x-rays, CAT scans, etc.). It can also increase your sports performance.
The use of Myofascial Release allows me to look at you as a unique individual. I will have four goals in mind:
- Reduced pain
- Increased ease of motion
- Greater range of motion
- Less inflammation
