MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

Myofascial Release is a very sophisticated healing modality. It's a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. There is an evaluation system that provides very accurate information enabling ultimate resolution of the client's dysfunction and distortion. It is very similar to Rolfing.

People riddled with chronic pain and stress find relief from their symptoms. Students of yoga, the martial arts, and meditation, dancers and athletes all benefit from Myofascial Release with increased sensitivity to physical alignment and function. Those involved in psychological exploration find greater connection to their body and emotions.

There is an energetic “blueprint” of our body (the etheric body).

It interfaces with the three dimensional web of the fascial system. In other words, the myofascial system is where the energetic/spiritual aspect of our being enters the physicality.  Physical and/or emotional trauma can severely restrict our myofascial system creating symptoms such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, myofascial pain syndrome, pelvic and menstrual pain and dysfunction. Aberrations within the myofascial system can also cause emotional distress, fatigue, anxiety, and behavioral problems by blocking the energetic flow necessary for communication with our spiritual self for healing to occur."

Myofascial Release treatment gives us a physiological, structural “handle” or “lever” into our intellectual/emotional/spiritual well being and healing.

Research has shown that Myofascial Release reduces spinal curvature, enhances neurological functioning, creates more efficient use of muscles, allows the body to conserve energy, and refines patterns of movement. It significantly reduces chronic stress and changes body structure. It gives you incredible range of motion pain free.

Myofascial Release achieves these amazing results through the skillful manipulation of the body’s connective tissue system in a way that gradually brings the whole human structure into balance with gravity.

To understand the incredible work of Myofascial Release you must understand a little about Fascia. Fascia is the tissue that holds all the body parts together, covering every muscle and fiber within each muscle. It gives shape to and supports all of the body's musculature. When muscle fibers are injured, the fibers and the fascia which surrounds them become short and tight. Over a long period of time, the body over compensates and can distort your whole body structure. There are many people walking around who do not have straight structure. Either their head is tilted to a side. Or their head is protruding 3 inches forward from the base of their neck. Or their whole body is has turned sideways. Or worse still they cannot walk or stand or sit from intolerable pain.

Fascia is a thin, almost translucent film that wraps around muscle tissue. It gives shape to and supports all of the body's musculature. It covers every muscle and every fiber within each muscle. You can see Fascia if you cut up a fresh chicken. It is the thin, sticky, somewhat filmy white material that wraps around the muscle tissue. It wraps around muscle fibers, bundles of fibers, and the muscles themselves, and then goes on to form tendons and ligaments. When muscle fibers are injured, the fibers and the fascia which surrounds it become short and tight. When this happens over a long period of time. The body over compensates in certain areas and can distort your whole body structure. Myofascial Release is a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. Myofascial Release is a whole body "hands-on" approach to the evaluation and treatment of the human structure. As a Myofascial Release therapist I have been taught to evaluate the fascial system through visual analysis of the human frame three dimensionally in space, by palpating the tissue texture and various fascial layers and observing the symmetry, rate, quality, and intensity of strength of the craniosacral rhythm. Proper Myofascial Release requires ongoing reevaluation, observance of vaso-motor responses and their location as they occur after a particular fascial restriction has been released. This provides instantaneous and very accurate information enabling me to proceed intelligently and logically from one treatment session to the next, to the ultimate resolution of the patient's dysfunction.
