Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is a specialist soft tissue therapy which works on and improves the condition of the myofascial system. The fascia covers our body structures from head to toe. Fascia gives balance, tension and stability to maintain our posture, supporting our skeletal system.

Healthy fascia is slippery and stretches allowing movement within the body. Injury and the stress and strains of life events can cause the fascial system to become less fluid. It becomes hardened and less able to glide over structures causing restrictions in movement and pain.

The gentle pressure techniques and stretches used in myofascial release helps the myofascial system return to a more fluid state. This is a relaxing therapy which helps lengthen muscles and breaks down adhesions which restrict movement.

Myofascial Release is suitable for repetitive strain conditions, sports people, chronic pain conditions such as lower back and shoulder tension and chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia.
