MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Releases tension from the fibrous bands of connecting tissue (fascia). Myofascial release therapy aims to free constrictions or blockages in the fascia, thereby alleviating problems with connective tissue scarring or injury.
The doctor uses myofascial release therapy to help individuals with poor posture, physical injury, illness and emotional stress. Using this therapy, disruptions of the fascial network are freed and tension on bones, muscles, joints and nerves is relieved. Ultimately, myofascial release restores complete balance back to the body
