Restriction Of MotionMuscle Spasm/SpasticityMyofascial Release is a whole body, hands on treatment approach that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions, producing an authentic healing effect upon the body tissues, thereby eliminating pain and restoring motion. The theory of Myofascial Release requires an understanding of the fascial system. Fascia is a strong connective tissue that spreads throughout the body in a three dimensional web from head to toe without interruption. It envelops and interconnects every structure of your body down to the cellular level. The fascial system is also the primary communication system of the body. Fluid within and around the fascia allows it to act as a semiconductor, carrying and storing vast amounts of information around the body. In a healthy state, the fascia is relaxed, hydrated and wavy and has the ability to stretch, move and communicate without restriction. Trauma, poor posture, repetitive injuries, scarring, inflammation and/or unresolved emotional holding patterns can create a binding down of the fascia and cause dehydration of the fluid within and around the fascia
