Myofascial Release

 

Myofascial release deals with the fascia, or connective tissue, of the body.  The fascia is interconnected to every other part of the body, and actually helps to support the body's very structure, including the musculoskeletal system.  When injury, inflammation, or physical or emotional trauma occurs, the fascia can become tight and cause pain and/or restricted range of motion.  Myofascial release, as its name suggests, aims to release the fascia and return it to a state of normalcy by applying gentle pressure to the restricted areas.  MFR can help with a number of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, and stress-related illnesses.
