Myofascial release is a whole-body, hands-on approach for the evaluation
and treatment of the human body. Fascia is the tough connective tissue,
which spreads throughout the body in a three dimensional form from head
to foot without interruption. Myofascial release consists of the gentle
application of sustained pressure into the facial restriction. This
has the effect of pulling the fibers straight. Pressure applied slowly,
along with stretching will allow the facial to elongate. The goal is
to remove the restrictions and restore the body’s balance. When
the structure has been returned to a balanced state, it is realigned
with gravity. When these aims have been accomplished, the body’s
ability to self-correct returns, thus restoring optimum function and
performance with he least amount of energy expenditure.
