EXCERPTS:
"Myofascial
release is a hands-on technique involving the application of
stretches and pressure to the fascia and muscles. It relieves
tension and pain by releasing and lengthening the fascia, which
allows muscles to return to their correct position, length
and function."
"...not only is temporary tightness
relieved, but long-held patterns of tension can be reversed.
This allows muscles to stay lengthened and perform in balance
with each other, helping to break habits such as poor posture
and protective 'muscle guarding'. Because of this, people often
notice that their pain relief, improved movement and other
effects are long-lasting." |
