Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures can create myofascial restrictions that have the potential to produce pain in structures of the body that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, CAT scans, electromyography, etc). Myofascial Release is a safe, gentle , and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying sustained pressure to the myofascial connective tissue to release restrictions, reduce pain, and restore motion. Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed directly on the skin without any oils or creams which enables the therapist to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.
