What is Myofascial Release?

Traditional physical, occupational and massage therapy treats the symptoms caused by the pressure of the "straightjacket" of the Myofascial system, but does nothing about the "straightjacket" of pressure that causes and perpetuates the symptoms.

Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.)

The medical approach is to drug patients so they temporarily are free from pain, but does nothing about the “straight-jacket” of pressure that is causing the pain. Traditional physical, occupational and massage therapy treats the symptoms caused by the pressure of the “straightjacket” of the Myofascial system, but does nothing about the “straightjacket” of pressure that causes and perpetuates the symptoms. This is why so many patients only have temporary results never seeming to get better with traditional therapy.

Only Myofascial Release treats the entire Myofascial mind/Healthy Body completely.
