Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a form of soft tissue therapy which includes, but is not limited to, structural assessments and manual massage techniques for stretching the fascia and releasing bonds between fascia, the integumentary system, muscles, and bones.
Techniques are applied with the goal of eliminating pain, increasing range of motion and balancing the body. The fascia is manipulated, directly or indirectly, which allows the connective tissue fibers to reorganize themselves in a more flexible, functional fashion. In addition, Myofascial release may be considered a general manual massage technique any 'lay person' can use to eliminate general fascial restrictions on a living mammalian body.
