Myofascial Release Therapy

Myofascial release therapy is another type of bodywork that involves releasing stiffness in the fascia, the connective tissue system that contains each muscle in the body. Manipulation of tendon connections, combined with light pressures to the fascia will stretch and relax any areas, that feel tense.

Specific conditions that may benefit from myofascial therapy include:

• Headaches
• Myofascial pain syndrome
  • Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) involves localized pain in one or more groups of muscles,  like the lower back or neck. It may also lead to mood and sleep changes.       MPS is different from fibromyalgia.
• Venous insufficiency
  • When your veins have trouble sending blood from your limbs back to the heart, it’s known as venous insufficiency. In this condition, blood doesn’t flow back       properly to the heart, causing blood to pool in the veins in your legs.
