What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release is a very effective hands-on
technique that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to
eliminate pain and restore motion. Fascia is a densely woven
covering
and surrounds every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein as well as all of our
internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. The
most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that it is not just a system of
separate coverings. It is actually one structure that exists from head to
foot without interruption. In this way you can begin to see that each part of
the entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia, like the yarn in
a sweater.
In the normal healthy state, the fascia is
relaxed and wavy in
configuration.
It has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. When we
experience physical trauma, scarring, or inflammation, however, the fascia loses
its pliability. It becomes tight, restricted and a source of tension to
the rest of the body. Trauma, such as a fall, whiplash, surgery or just habitual
poor posture over time and repetitive stress injuries has a cumulative effects.
The changes they cause in the fascial system influence comfort and the
functioning of our body. The fascia can exert excessive pressure producing
pain or restriction of motion. They affect our flexibility and stability,
and are a determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and strain.
