Myofascial release is a very effective technique that provides sustained pressure or stretching into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.

Fascia is the organ of form uniting every part of the body. It surrounds every bone, muscle, muscle fibre, nerve and organ. Healthy superficial fascia stretches and adjusts to strains. Deep fascia in a healthy body allows structures to slide over one another. However, following trauma, these layers can thicken, dehydrate and stick together, causing adhesions.

Thickening of the fascia can lead to restrictions in the muscles, in blood flow and around nerves. This results in a gradual change in the way of going, as one area of the body adapts, surrounding areas adapt as well in a domino effect.
