Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a gentle technique that allows the body to release its own restrictions. Fascial tissue surrounds us from our head to our toes in a continuous three-dimensional web.

Restriction in the fascial tissue sometimes caused by abnormal posture and motion can be a creator of pain, lack of mobility and function. Restrictions alter the natural and efficient alignment of the skeleton causing bonding to various structures, creating the pain and lack of mobility that one feels.

This touch transcends

I feel together at the end of the session. My ankle is looser and all seems to become one. There is a peaceful feeling coming through.

~ adult patient with chronic ankle sprains

I felt like there was a “soul scrubbing” and it felt very safe and protected and covered in white gauze.

I feel like I grew a few inches and felt like a knot was getting untied…

I feel like I am watching a puzzle be put together and it feels like a complete puzzle at the end of the session.

I have been in the shade and I feel like I have been hit by the light and feel warmer and stronger.

I feel rooted in myself at the end of the session and in a “perfect position to float”.

I feel like a greenhouse whose glass has been cleaned, inside and out, now the windows are open and light is coming from within. My energy is high, my pain is reduced and my spirit has been touched.

I have not been calm like that for awhile, its good. I had forgotten.

Her movements are more fluid, and she never complains of pain or tightness. She never says I cannot.

I have my lifestyle back. I can now live without pain.
