MYOFASCIAL RELEASE - 90 MINUTES

Myofascial Release is safe, effective, and produces lasting results. Myofascial Release allows us to look at each patient as a unique individual. Our therapy sessions are soothing treatments during which our therapists use a multitude of Myofascial Release techniques and movement therapy. The goal of Myofascial Release is to restore the individual’s freedom, so they may return to an active lifestyle.

A fascial hold requires a minimum of 3 to 5 minutes before a histological change occurs. The tissues are not forced thus the therapist follows the direction that the body releases as the tissue responds. Myofascial Release is a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into the fascial restrictions to eliminate pain, headaches and to restore motion. Myofascial Release requires an understanding of the fascial system (or connective tissue).
FASCIAL TISSUE
ACTIVE LIFESTYLE
CELLS OF THE BODY
Fascia is a thin but very strong connective tissue that spreads throughout the entire body creating a 3-dimensional matrix or web without any interruption. Fascia determines the form of each cell, tissue, and organ. Thus resulting in the shape of the body as a whole. Fascia is also the tissue of intracellular communication which allows proper cellular metabolism. In the normal healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration with liquid fluidity running thru the body. It can stretch and move easily without any restriction.

There is a micro-fascial system within every cell. Trauma, surgery and thwarted inflammatory responses can produce fascial restrictions that can exert crushing pressure of up to approximately 2,000 pounds of pressure per square inch on the various pain-sensitive structures in the body. It is important to understand that fascial restrictions do not show up in any of the standard testing now being done, including X-rays, CT scans, myelograms, or blood work. Therefore, fascial restrictions have long been overlooked, missed, or misdiagnosed altogether. New technology-based on probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy shows the three-dimensional fibrous web and the fluid within the fascial system also referred to as the fascia’s ground substance. The recognition of the fluid aspect of the fascial system is a major shift in the understanding of cellular function.
TRAUMA
CELLS OF THE BODY
REPETITIVE MOTION
When physical trauma occurs in muscle fibers, the encasing fascia loses its flexibility and shortens becoming tight. Trauma or inflammation can create a binding down of fascia resulting in excessive pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels, osseous structures, and/or organs. Immediately following any injury the body begins to produce fibrin to repair the damage. Simultaneously the matrix openings of the fascia are filled with fibrin forming what we sometimes feel like a tight, hot, or tender area in the location of trauma.
REPETITIVE MOTION
CELLS OF THE BODY
REPETITIVE MOTION
Repetitive motion can cause cross-link adhesion binding the fascia to itself. These restrictions reduce circulation and impact the nerves causing stiffness and pain. Being that fascia is a network throughout the entire body, the trauma in one location can cause restrictions or maladjustments of the body's form and function in other parts of the body. It is thought that an extremely high percentage of people suffering with pain, headaches, and/or lack of motion may be having fascial problems, but most go undiagnosed.
