Myofascial Release

Pam Stephenson

Myofascial release (MFR)Is a slow, gentle series of techniques designed to target tissues at the deeper levels of the body. Fascia is a dense connective tissue that surrounds every organ, tissue and cell in the body. When restricted, or adhered following pain, surgery or other conditions, fascia can cause compression, restricted movement and additional pain, often known as “trigger points”. Hands–on releasing of these restrictions and altered patterns can have a profound effect on movement, comfort and function.
