Myofascial Release is a hands-on technique that works to release restrictions in the fascia, which is connective tissue throughout the body, in order to restore blocked energy flow and relieve pain. Physical and psychological trauma can cause the fascia to restrict and exert pressure on nerves and tissues. By applying gentle sustained pressure, the therapist uses the piezoelectric property of fascia to create an electrical current and rehydrate the tissue, allowing it to release restrictions and return to its healthy state.
