Services - Myofascial Release Treatment
Myofascial Release Treatment
This technique stimulates the stretch reflex in the muscle using gentle sustained pressure into the myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore function.
Superficial fascia is found just under the skin.
Deeper fascia surrounds muscles and organs.
Fascia is similar to a web and in this web we find the arteries, veins, lymphatic and nerves running through it. If there is a restriction in the fascia either superficial or deeper because it is all connected it can have an effect other parts of the body … much like a pull in a shirt.
Fascia is affected by surgery, trauma, chemical imbalances
This treatment is good for everyone …it is gentle, safe, and effective.
