“And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

What is Myofascial Release?

Myofascial Release provides Whole Body Wellness & Relief from the emotional & physical stresses of life

 

Myofascial Release...

  • is a hands on technique
  • is a wholistic approach
  • provides sustained pressure to release the fascial connective tissue
  • is done on the skin without oils or cream
  • is profoundly relaxing and deepening
  • is dynamic and lasting

It Results in...

  • Increased postural alignment
  • increased energy
  • increased body awareness
  • increased flexibility and strength
  • decreased pain
  • feeling more balanced physically, mentally, & emotionally
 
 

Fascia...

  • is tough connective tissue with a tensile strength of 2000 lbs. per square inch
  • spreads through the body in a 3-dimentsional interconnected web
  • surrounds organs, nerves, & blood vessels
  • infuses muscle down to the cellular level
  • is made up of collagen & elastin supported in a gelatinous matrix

Trauma, be it physical, emotional, or inflammation creates tension in the fascia it to stiffen locally. But,because it is essentially an interconnected web, this then pulls into the other areas much like when you pull the threads on a sweater causing all the other threads to organize along the lines of tension. This can create bizarre symptoms such as pain, tingling or burning some distance from the originally affected area as the strong fascia binds down on pain sensitive structures like nerves and blood vessels. The body loses it's flexibility and orientation in space. The body is compromised so it needs more energy just to stay upright and function. As this process continues the immune system may become compromised, stress may not be so easily managed, and chronic pain can set in.

Evaluating for fascial restrictions includes:

  • a visual assessment in standing, sitting, lying & while moving
  • a tactile assessment of the tissues while treating
  • asking for feedback from the client about connected area felt during treatment
  • assessing is an ongoing process during treatment as the therapist is attuned to feeling the restrictions release & moving into the new barrier

Who Benefits from MFR?

Absolutely everyone can benefit from JFB Myofascial Release. For those with pain & dysfunction, MFR offer the opportunity for authentic healing. Others may utilize it to enhance personal evolution, growth and awareness.

Regardless of the label we give our pain or the diagnosis we may get, we are hurting because we are holding onto physical and emotional wounds from our past. These holds inside us create patterns that can manifest into feelings of self-doubt, chronic pain/dysfunction, and trouble with daily life. Many times we don’t realize all the small ways that we are holding ourselves back from our own healing.

Myofascial Release give us the opportunity to increase our consciousness, identify our patterns and make new choices. An opportunity for true healing, listening to your body’s wisdom.

Treatment programs can be individualized for longer or shorter time periods to meet your particular needs. Multiple therapist treatments are available.
