Myofascial Release Myofascial Release targets the muscles and the fascia. The muscles of our body give the body form and, by expanding and contracting, they enable movement. The fascia is the connective tissue that covers and connects the muscles, organs and bones. It is located between the skin and the underlying structure of muscle and bone. Muscle and fascia are collectively called the Myofascial system. |

Myofascial release therapy uses techniques to stretch the fascia and the muscles. The technique is guided by feedback the therapist feels from the patient's body. Some techniques are very light (myofascial stretching) that slowly heat and relax tissue allowing it to elongate. Other myofascial techniques uses sustained pressure very deeply to break up scar tissue and restrictions (sustained myofascial tension). Myofascial release is very good for chronic restrictions. |
