“Thousands of people are affected by chronic pain and the physical limitations it causes. If you are one of them, you may be interested in a bodywork technique called myofascial release, used by more and more people to reduce pain, increase comfortable movement, and improve posture.”~ Sage Annen
What is it?
“Myo” refers to muscle, and “fascia” to the elastic web of connective tissue that spreads throughout your body and ties it together. Muscles and fascia work together to support your body and fascilitate movement. MFR 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.
The importance of fascia:
Fascia supports and covers your muscles, and everything else including organs, bones and nerves. Fascia is interwoven like threads in fabric, connecting every part of the body to every other part. It binds the human body into an integral whole, allowing the proper function of moving structures including joints, tendons and muscles.
Why is it effective?
MFR allows the 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, pain relief & improved movement are long-lasting.
MFR will help:
- relieve chronic pain
- improve range of motion
- release postural restrictions
- reduce chronic headaches, stiff neck, low back & hip pain, shoulder problems
- reduce the effects of fibromyalgia, arthiritis, and tempomandibular joint disfunction (TMJ)
- repair old injuries by increasing the pliability of scar tissue in muscles and tendons
Myofascial Release is an advanced technique that required specific training. Since 2006, I have been training, practicing, and applying the principles of John F. Barnes, PT, LMT, NCTMB, an internationally recognized physical therapist, lecturer, author and the leading authority on Myofascial Release. Through his 50 years of experience and creative insight, he has developed this innovative and highly effective whole body approach for the evaluation and treatment of pain and dysfunction. As one of the only MFR Practioners in Dallas, patients come to me or are referred for Myofascial Release when medicine, surgery or traditional therapy or massage did not produce the desired results. Myofascial Release will safely and gently release the entire Myofascial complex for lasting and comprehensive results and authentic healing. ~Sage
