Myofascial release is a safe and effective hands-on therapy that focuses on releasing tension and restrictions in a connective tissue called fascia. These tissues surround and support your muscles, bones, organs, and cells. When we experience things like emotional or physical trauma, inflammation, injuries, and surgical procedures fascia can become tight or restricted; this can lead to chronic pain, reduced flexibility, and decreased range of motion.
MFR employs gentle, sustained pressure and stretching techniques lasting a minimum of 3-5 minutes; this allows the fascia to return to its natural, pliable state. This process not only alleviates pain, but also improves circulation, enhances flexibility, and promotes a deep sense of relaxation and well-being. For more detailed information please check out John Barnes Myofascial Release.
