Get balanced with Myofascial release...Used to help those with injuries or chronic pain that can be attributed to the injured muscle fibers that cause the tightening and shortening of the fascia, the thin tissue that surrounds every muscle and organ in the body, Myofascial releases are great for athletes.
SO...WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL MASSAGE
Myofascial release is stretching of the fascia, the thin tissue that covers all the organs of the body. This tissue covers every muscle and every fiber within each muscle. When muscle fibers are injured, the fibers and the fascia surrounding it become short and tight. All muscle stretching, then, is actually stretching of the fascia and the muscle, the myofascial unit. This uneven stress can be transmitted through the fascia to other parts of the body, causing pain and a variety of other symptoms in areas you often wouldn't expect. Myofascial release treats these symptoms by releasing the uneven tightness in injured fascia. Feedback from the body tells the therapist how much force to use, the direction of the stretch, and how long to stretch. Only small areas of muscle are stretched at a time. Sometimes the therapist uses only two fingers to stretch a small part of a muscle. Feedback that the therapist receives determines which muscles are stretched and in what order.
