Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is the
three-dimensional application of sustained pressure and
movement into the fascial system in order to eliminate
fascial restrictions and facilitate the emergence of
emotional patterns and belief systems that are no longer
relevant or are impeding progress. First, an assessment
is made by visually analyzing the human frame, followed
by the palpation of the tissue texture of various
fascial layers. Upon locating an area of fascial
tension, gentle pressure is applied in the direction of
the restriction. Myofascial release is an effective
therapeutic approach in the relief of cervical pain,
back pain, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, neurological
dysfunction, restriction of motion, chronic pain, and
headaches.
