Myofascial Release

Myofascial release refers to the manual massage technique for stretching the fascia and releasing bonds between fascia (the white connective tissue) and muscles with the goal of eliminating pain, increasing range of motion, and correcting postural distortions.
If fascia has been traumatized and is creating symptoms distant from the injury, all of the appropriate localized treatments will produce poor or temporary results because of the imbalance and excessive pressure from the fascial restrictions.
When myofascial release is applied the elastic component is slowly stretched until the hands stop at a firm barrier. The therapist uses gentle, sustained pressure and follows the motion of the tissue restriction to restriction, until freedom from limitation is felt.

This is a dry technique. No oil is used.
