Physical Therapy - Myofascial ReleaseWhat is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release is a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. The theory of Myofascial Release requires an understanding of the fascial system (or connective tissue). The fascia is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider's web or a sweater. Read more www.myofascialrelease.com
Things to Know for Physical Therapy Appointment
** For each physical therapy/myofascial release session, please refrain from using any skin lotions or creams, unless medically necessary. Also, wearing a two-piece bathing suit, jog bra and underwear or tank top and shorts is recommended. You will be reminded to drink plenty of water after your session to assist in cellular hydration.
Each session is scheduled for 60 minutes and generally will begin with an observation of posture in standing, viewed from the front and back. This will allow for an assessment of where restrictions of the immense connective tissue or fascial system, may be pulling the body off center, causing imbalances and compensations or holding patterns.
Because this approach addresses the fascial system, which is a three dimensional web of connective tissue, encasing every single other tissue of the body (muscle, nerve) down to each individual cell (the cellular level), it truly is a whole-body approach. The fascial system connects everything, everywhere, from the top of the head to the tips of the toes, front to back, diagonally in every direction. Where one area of the body is experiencing pain, there might be restrictions from another, connected area, causing the dysfunction or compression. Skillfully releasing layer upon layer, barrier upon barrier of deep connective tissue restriction allows for the body to restore balance, fluidity, normal motion and optimal functioning.
The body seeks balance for well being. The mind is housed within, and radiates from the inner sanctums of the body. As you gain mobility, achieve centeredness and restored fluidity of form—you feel better, mover better, and function better. The body-mind complex, feeling free from pain, restrictions and dysfunction can establish a healthier state of peace and inner tranquility, manifesting in restored active, healthy lifestyles.
