Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a hands-on therapeutic technique that focuses on releasing tension and restrictions in the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs throughout the body. This therapy works by applying gentle, sustained pressure to areas of tightness or "trigger points" in the fascial tissue. The slow, constant pressure allows the fascia to elongate and release, which can help alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and restore proper function
Unlike more forceful massage techniques, myofascial release uses a gentle approach that respects the viscoelastic nature of fascia, allowing it to respond and unwind naturally. This method also helps calm the nervous system, enabling the body to accept the changes without triggering protective responses. By addressing fascial restrictions, myofascial release can potentially improve overall body alignment, reduce pain, and enhance mobility, making it an effective treatment for various musculoskeletal issues
