Myofascial Release Techniques

Recommended for women to wear sports bra and women/men to wear loose or spandex type shorts.

The term myofascial release is derived from the Latin words myo (or muscle) and fascia (or elastic band). 

Myofascial Release Techniques are a mixture of light stretching and massage work to release tension from muscles, bones, nerves and joints, by unblocking any scar tissue or adhesions due to injury in the muscles and surrounding tissues. 

Gentle pressure is used to engage the tissue and is held for about two minutes. 

A session lasts about an hour and is recommended for conditions such as migraine headaches, menstrual cramps, menopause-related pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, Fibromyalgia, whiplash and muscle spasms.
