Myofascial ReleaseMyofascial Release (MFR), like many alternative therapies, promotes the philosophy that the mind and body work together to maintain good health. This supports the understanding that the mind and body are one and the same. The body has the ability to remember postural positions, actions and emotions without the brain reminding it to do so. If our body can remember positive actions and emotions then it must be true that we can also remember negative ones. Memories, both physical and emotional, can be triggered by a state of mind, context and by body position. Therapists are taught to feel and stretch slowly into the fascial network feeling for a glue like texture which when dense, thick or hard defines a fascial restriction. The MFR therapist provides a sustained, gentle, pressure for a minimum of 90 to 120 seconds allowing the fascia to elongate naturally and return to it's normal resting length restoring health and providing results that are both measurable and functional. MFR also treats the injury at the source, allowing the patient to heal at the deepest level. Myofascial Release is a specialised physical therapy that affects and releases the restrictions within the fascial network. |
