WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

Picture
The following is a quick explanation of  Myofascial Release, please refer to the videos below for more information

Myofascial Release(MFR) is a full body, hands on technique that was developed and refined by John F. Barnes. This technique releases the fascial system- a 3-Dimensional web that connects and surrounds every muscle, organ, cell, and system in the body.

MFR helps to remove the straight jacket from the body. A skilled therapist will look at and treat your entire body, helping to restore balance. Releasing the fascial restrictions throughout the body will decrease the crushing force which will increase function, decrease pain, increase blood flow and nutrition to the body, and increase overall health down to the cellular level.




Clinic Directions and Lodging Information

What is Fascia?

Fascia is the tough connective tissue that creates a 3-dimensional web which extends without interruption from a person's head to their feet. Fascia surrounds and infuses every muscle, bone, nerve, blood vessel and organ, all the way down to the cellular level. The fascial system can affect every system and function in the body- muscular, cellular, neurological, metabolic, ect. The white, glistening fibers you see when you pull a piece of meat apart or when you pull chicken skin away is fascia.

What Areas of the Body can Restrictions Effect? 

Since the fascial system runs throughout your entire body, these restrictions can cause pain anywhere in the body.
​Fascial restrictions can cause digestive problems, fertility problems, circulation problems, neurological problems, and muscular problems. These restrictions can become tighter over time, literally making you feel like you are in a straight jacket and sending symptoms throughout your body.





What symptoms can Myofascial Release treatment help?

At our clinic, no matter what the diagnosis, the therapists 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, MVA's, 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.

What should I wear for a Treatment?

Since MFR is a whole body treatment, it will necessary to be able to treat the entire body.  Most people either getting treated in a pair of shorts and tank top, or in their undergarments.  There are also paper gowns available to wear during the treatments.
