Myofascial release

Indications:
• Chronic and Acute muscle pain.
• Spine and joint deviations.
• Movement restriction.
• Reduced mobility.

How it works:
The muscles and visceral organs are linked and sustained through a sheet of connective tissue denominated by fascia. Fascia exists in the body in a continuous tridimensional web of connective tissue from the “head to toe.” Bad posture, trauma, or injuries may tighten or stiffen the fascial tissue and reduce its sliding ability. Over time, this condition causes a malalignment of posture and abnormal movements leading to pain and loss of functional capacity. Myofascial release involves the physical therapist applying gentle and sustained pressure on the restricted area for a couple of minutes to elongate the tissue.
