Myofascial Release is a gentle, hands on treatment that stretches and balances the body. It works with the fascial system, the connective tissue of the body. This connective tissue has the appearance of a spider web and should glide and move 3 dimensionally in a healthy body. However, the effects of trauma, accidents, injuries, surgeries, structural imbalances and more can cause the fascial system to become “sticky” and inflamed. The fascial system surrounds everything in our body: organs, blood, bone, cells – inside and out and is one continuous sheath from head to toe. When your fascial system is compromised you may feel pain, tightness, have problems moving, feel sore, tender, agitated.
Each session is designed to meet your specific needs to allow us to get to the root causes of the problem so your body can start to heal and you can regain a good quality of health and well being. Cranio Sacral Therapy (CST) may also be utilized during a Myofascial Release Treatment. CST is also a gentle, hands on treatment. It helps to balance the central nervous system and thereby impact the entire body.
