PAIN RELIEF. FLEXIBILITY. HYDRATE

 

Myofascial Release is a specialised treatment that targets restrictions in the fascial network (connective tissue), transforming stuck, hardened, and dehydrated areas into soft, mobile, and hydrated ones. Therapists use palpation to assess body structure and function, determining the appropriate techniques to apply.

​

This hands-on, manual therapy addresses soft tissue dysfunction, pain, and tension. Gentle, sustained pressure is essential, as fascia has a property called "thixotropy"—it resists force but softens over time with steady pressure.

 

Techniques include grounding, cross-hand stretching, skin rolling, and sacral release.

Fascia is a continuous, three-dimensional network throughout the body, supporting muscles, organs, and bones. Healthy fascia is relaxed and stretchy, but trauma or poor posture can make it hard and stuck, leading to movement restrictions and pain.

​

Myofascial Release can release both long-held and recent trauma, influencing physiological processes at the cellular level for overall better health and mobility by:

​

 

​

1.Mechanical Stress Relief: Trauma can alter cellular structure and function. Myofascial release applies mechanical stress to fascia and tissues, breaking adhesions and releasing tension. This stimulates increased blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and the removal of waste products, aiding healing.

2. Fluid Dynamics: Fascia contains a gel-like ground substance that trauma can stiffen. Gentle stretching and manipulation in myofascial release restore fluid dynamics, improving nutrient and oxygen exchange at the cellular level.

3. Neurological Effects: Trauma increases muscle tension and alters nervous system responses. Myofascial release stimulates sensory receptors, reducing muscle tension and pain perception, promoting relaxation, and restoring neuromuscular communication.

4. Gene Expression: Mechanical forces during myofascial release may influence gene expression related to inflammation, tissue repair, and cellular remodeling. This supports the body's natural healing processes.

​

Myofascial release therapy involves a complex interplay of mechanical, biochemical, and neurological factors, effectively restoring tissue health and function in response to trauma.
