Myofascial Release

Myofascial tissues surround and support the muscles throughout the body. Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.)

Unlike the medical approach that would treat the symptoms through medication and traditional physical, occupational, and massage therapy that would treat the symptoms caused by the pressure, Myofascial Release treats the entire myofascial mind/body complex eliminating the pressure of the restricted Myofascial system (the straightjacket) that causes the symptoms. The goal is to return to a pain free, active lifestyle and not just a temporary release of pain. Pain includes: Back pain, headaches, whiplash, pelvic pain, neck pain, sports injuries, chronic pain, disc problems, migraines, pelvic floor dysfunction, neurological dysfunction, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, adhesions, carpal tunnel, jaw pain, painful scars, scoliosis, sciatica. Myofascial pain syndrome.
