What is Myofascial Release?

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a specialised therapy that releases the restrictions within the fascial network of our bodies.  

 

Myofascial is derived from the Latin words 'Myo' for muscle and 'Fascia' for band.

 

The fascia is a 3D web, the connective-tissue that covers you completely from top to toe.  It is one complete piece, connecting everything within you.  It is made up mainly of collagen and elastin giving it tensile strength and flexibility.  Fascia surrounds, infuses and protects every tissue, tendon, muscle, bone, ligament and organ of the body.

 

Every single thing that ever happens to us in our lives both good and bad is stored within the fascia of our bodies and our subconscious.  Following all physical and emotional traumas the fascia can harden or 'get stuck'.  This causes the fascial web to be pulled out of alignment and can create pain and disfunction.

 

The fascia has been around ever since humankind began, but it has a fairly new history in the west, so we are the pioneers for this cutting edge treatment.  They are calling it the missing link in medicine.

 

I specialise in myofascial release treatment and unwinding.  I deal with the cause rather then the symptoms.
