Myofascial Release (MFR) therapy is a hands-on treatment technique that focuses on reducing pain by easing the tension and tightness in our fascia. Your MFR therapist will utilize gentle, sustained pressure and stretch to relieve any restrictions in the myofascial connective tissue which acts as a supportive web throughout the body encompassing all of our internal structures such as muscles, nerves, and blood vessels.
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle, sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate.
Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery. This enables the therapist to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.
