About
Myofascial refers to the fascia, or connective tissue, which spreads throughout our entire body. It plays an important role in the support of our bodies, since it attaches, penetrates and surrounds every muscle, bone, nerve, artery, vein, internal organ and spinal cord.
What is Myofascial Release?
A healing, effective, hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into tight and/or painful areas of our body (which are often caused by fascia restrictions). This is a noninvasive, drug-free technique. Because traumas occur physically as well as emotionally to the body, clients often experience physical and emotional releases during sessions. This re-balancing helps the client reach a balanced, pain-free, active lifestyle.
How does your fascial system become tight?
-
Trauma
-
Scarring
-
Inflammation
For example, a fall, whiplash, surgery(s), or habitual poor posture. This can pull and restrict the fascia, losing its flexibility. The result - excessive pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels, bone structures, and/or internal organs.
An imbalanced skeletal system or fascial system results in a continued pulling and twisting of the two. Clients often benefit from receiving chiropractic treatments as well.
For our patients who are looking for chiropractic treatment, we recommend Dr. Scott Fuller.
