Myofascial Release is a hands on technique used to manage myofascial pain. Instead of focussing on releasing one specific muscle, this technique addresses the entire fascial complex. "Myo" means muscle and "fascia" refers to the connective tissue that overlays each muscle, nerve, ligament, blood vessel and organ in our entire bodies. Similar to a spider web, the fascia grabs and pulls on areas of the body and can continue to wind up causing immense restriction especially after a trauma. Trauma can be physical, such as an injury or surgery, as well as emotional. If left unaddressed, fascial restrictions can lead to pain, movement difficulties/disorders, and a multitude of other conditions including cardiovascular issues from an increased buildup of inflammation and poor blood flow. Myofascial techniques release restrictions in a gentle manner, going into resistance to relax the tissues and nervous system. These calming effects also make myofascial release therapy an excellent treatment for anxiety and sleep disorders, with many patients finding them to be far more effective than a typical massage.
