Myofascial
Release
The fascia is connective tissue. It lies under the skin
and surrounds muscles and organs in the body. It separates areas and protects.
It is the ‘information highway’ of the body - nerves and blood vessels run
through it.
Releasing fascial restrictions releases deep patterns of
tension that can compromise athletic ability (and/or recovery and healing
post-injury). It is a specific hands-on
technique where specific restrictions are targeted within the connective
tissue.
The cause and not just the symptoms are addressed as the
fascia is connected throughout the body, so to impact a change in the whole
body all of it does not have to be touched - releasing one area has an impact
on other areas.
It is a powerful technique that can go very deep and is
non-painful to the animal. It is also effective to improve scar tissue and
restrictions.
