Myofascial release, a hands-on manual therapy often associated with massage, centers around the fascia—an intricate, highly innervated network enveloping muscles, bones, nerves, and organs.
When any form of trauma occurs, the fascia can lose its smooth gliding ability and adaptive qualities, resulting in common but often under-diagnosed orthopedic issues like muscle tension and trigger points. Our myofascial release approach is grounded in a holistic understanding of the fascial system, including relevant neurology and the underlying anatomy. Treatments typically start with a physical assessment, exploring existing restrictions or sensitivities in the body. Techniques can vary through the session, from gentle unwinding to more active soft tissue releases and joint articulations. These techniques communicate with the nervous system and target the various layers of the body, including muscles, ligaments, nerve sheaths, vascular structures, spine, joints, abdominal and cranial structures. The core goals of this therapy include enhancing movement qualities within the tissues and refining our clients' own kinesthetic sense and experience. These goals can contribute to significant reductions in pain, enhanced adaptability and tissue differentiation, improved function, and an overall greater sense of well-being and relaxation. |
Drawing inspiration from European Osteopathic principles and American Structural Integration, our myofascial release approach also integrates insights from many schools of thought and modalities, including acupuncture.
