Myofascial Release
RELIEVES PAIN
By finding

&
Looking elsewhere
for the
CAUSE
Even though you may be feeling pain in one area of your body it can come from another area that may be far away from the symptom area.
Fascial
Function
The fascial system connects every structure in our body to every other structure, creates space for nerves, blood vessels and lymph vessels, protects injured areas and allows for the overall length of our system.

Fascia isn't just a tissue that surrounds muscle. It actually forms a 3-dimensional web that goes from the tip of our toes to the top of our head. An MFR technique in one area of the body reaches into the entire length of the fascial system.

Since we have all had instances or repeated instances of these causes, it is safe to say that we all have fascial restrictions somewhere in our body. They can affect us no matter how long ago they happened!
When the fascial system becomes restricted it binds down on nerves, muscles, joints and internal organs causing a whole host of possible symptoms such as...
Traumatized Fascia
- headaches
- migraines
- TMJ Dysfunction
- neck pain
- shoulder pain
scoliosis -
frozen shoulder -
pelvic imbalances -
low back pain -
herniated discs -
- hip pain
- sciatica
- knee pain
- plantar fascitis
- restless leg
Fascial
Restrictions
can cause
Skeletal
Misalignment
Fascial restrictions are a major contributor and cause for skeletal misalignment. If these restrictions are not addressed, skeletal misalignment will reoccur time after time.
Skeletal misalignment causes structural imbalances and compensatory patterns which, in turn, cause further fascial restrictions. We address skeletal misalignment by reducing the fascial restrictions that pull bones out of alignment thereby allowing the skeleton to realign.
Fascial
Restrictions
can spread
to other areas
Over time, fascial restrictions spread along lines of tension to affect areas far from the original sight of injury. That is why we can't just treat the place where the current symptom is and must look for the fascial connections throughout the body. This is also why healing is a process, not an event!
The
Healing
Process
Through the healing process, as the core area of injury begins to be addressed, the body doesn't feel like it has to resist and compensate.
As compensatory patterns begin to abate so do patterns of pain and dysfunction that are associated with the compensatory patterns.
As layer upon layer of restriction and holding pattern is released the body comes into better alignment and pain patterns can continue to dissipate.
When the fascial restrictions are resolved and new movement patterns are introduced the new possibility arises of minimal or no pain and the return to an active pain-free lifestyle.
