Myofascial Release Therapy
What is MFR?
MFR is a hands-on technique which uses gentle sustained pressure to slowly release muscle tightness and tension. The goal of MFR is to create more space in your body. It helps restore body motion and balance, and decreases pain and stress.
What is fascia?
Fascia is three-dimensional connective tissue that runs head to toe throughout our entire body without interruption. Fascia wraps around literally every muscle, organ, bone, nerve, blood vessel, including the brain and spinal cord, down to the cellular level. It gives support and shape to our body.
What is a fascial restriction?
A fascial restriction might be referred to as a "knot"--it is hardened or shortened fascia, which can lead to pain, inflammation and limited range of motion. Stress, poor posture and injuries can all cause fascial restrictions.
How does an MFR session work?
MFR uses no oils, lotions or creams, to prevent sliding, and contact is made directly to your skin. A bra and/or shorts will be worn during your session. MFR creates a deeper awareness of your mind-body connection during and after treatment. MFR treatments are relaxing like a massage but have longer lasting results.
Is MFR right for you?
Many of us suffer from shortened and solidified fascia. The solidification creates a binding down of fascia resulting in excessive pressure and dehydration of systems in the body. This pressure acts like a "straightjacket". MFR is able to tap into the "straightjacket" by working with the fascia and slowly releasing the built-up pressure.
If you experience any of the following and would like sustained relief MFR might be right for you.
-Chronic pain and tightness
-Neck pain
-Low back pain
-Pelvic or hip pain
-Fibromyalgia
-Headaches
-Whiplash
-TMJ
-Sports injuries
-Poor posture
-Other forms of tightness
