Myofascial Release Therapy
by Marilyn Fay, Claremont, CA
Myofascial Release therapy evaluates the whole body to treat the cause of pain not just the symptoms. The cause of pain if often located in a seemingly unrelated
area. Fascia is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider's web or a sweater. Fascia is very densely woven, covering and
interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as, all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord.
The connective
tissue (fascia) is one continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption. In this way you can begin to see that each part of the entire body is
connected to every other part by the fascia,everything is connected. Injury, poor posture, and surgical procedures create myofascial restrictions that can produce
tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive it is thought that an extremely high percentage of people suffering with pain and
lack of motion may be having fascial problems, but go undiagnosed because this system of the body has been ignored.
