What Diagnosis can Myofascial Release Help?

A diagnosis is usually just a naming of the symptoms. It is just a way to fit people's symptoms into a category so it can be "treated" or "fixed". The only problem is, as soon as the label is put on a person's dysfunction, they are already being sold short. What I mean is, when we as therapists or patients are given a diagnosis, our attention usually shifts to "How can I fix that?", instead of "Where am I (or the patient) restricted or out of balance?"

With MFR, with every diagnosis the therapist will look at your entire body. That way we won't just treat the symptoms, but will also help relieve the cause of the problem. Not only does MFR work with acute dysfunctions like back trauma from falls, MVAs, etc. but also for systemic and chronic diagnosis like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, etc.

Then there is the category of nerve/neural diagnosis- CVA, carpal tunnel, sciatica, etc. If the nerve has been completely severed, then MFR will not restore the nerve function. But, again, MFR will free up the system so that what muscle activity is available will be more efficient.

Myofascial restrictions can simulate every diagnosis out there. Restrictions can compress muscles, nerves, and every system in the body. It doesn't matter the age, you are never too young or too old to have benefits from MFR. So, what have you got to lose by trying MFR except some restrictions?
