Chronic Pain, How Myofascial Release Can Help
Myofascial Release is a practice that goes to the core cause of the problem to release the symptoms where traditional therapy, surgery, or medication has failed to produce results.
Unfortunately there are many people in the world living with chronic pain: back pain, neck pain, hip pain, headaches just to name a few. Myofascial Release is a practice that goes to the core cause of the problem to release the symptoms where traditional therapy, surgery, or medication has failed to produce results.
The fascia is a tough connective tissue which spreads throughout the entire body from head to toe without interruption. A myofascial therapist will scan the whole body for restrictions and assess for postural dysfunction. After examination of skin and tissue integrity, the skilled hands of the therapist will apply light to moderate timed pressure into the fascia and wait for a release. The therapist will repeat this timed pressure into various areas of fascia until each restriction has released enabling muscles to stretch and elongate promoting a lasting effect.
Many patients have returned to normal activity and pain free lives after sessions of myofascial release. Whether you are experience lasting pain for the first time or have been living with chronic pain for years, myofascial release can help. Nobody should have to live with pain!
