Fascia is one continuous three dimensional web of connective tissue that supports and surrounds every muscle, muscle fiber, cell, nerve, blood vessel, and organ of your body. It extends from head to toe and has the ability to exert 2000 pounds of pressure per square inch, which can put tremendous pressure on pain-sensitive structures and diminish the vital functions of the body when restricted. It can affect the whole body or another part that is seemingly unrelated.  Fascial restrictions do not show up on any diagnostic tests, such as an X-ray, MRI, CAT scan, myelogram, or EMG. Often, people are only treated for their symptoms without ever finding or treating the underlying cause of these symptoms, thus symptoms often persist.

 

Myofascial release is a safe, gentle and effective, advanced form of body/mind work that works to release restrictions in the fascial system. At Heart of Wellness, treatment is performed by a licensed Occupational Therapist or Licensed Massage Practitioner who have been trained in the John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release Approach®. Treatment is done directly on the skin without oils or lotion, it consists of the gentle application of sustained pressure into fascial restrictions. Through ongoing assessment, the therapist searches for the cause while treating the symptoms thus supporting each person on a journey to authentic healing. Many people who have exhausted all resources, finding only temporary results within conventional medicine and therapies, discover the support they need from myofascial release…there is hope.

 

Everyone can benefit from myofascial release. You can even learn how to treat yourself on a regular basis. Releasing the “straight-jacket” of pressure can help to eliminate pain, stiffness and restricted motion that will allow your body to function properly and heal itself. Fascial strains slowly tighten as a result of physical and emotional trauma, inflammation, repetitive motion or activity, or postural alignment issues and can cause dysfunction in the body. Over time, these fascial strains may have a cumulative effect on the whole person. This dysfunction is energetically exhausting and diminishes your ability to live your full potential every single day 24/7. There are often many global benefits of myofascial release that occur even when intending to treat a specific problem; as the fascial system is a whole body system and can affect many aspects of our health. Releasing the pressure in one area will release the overall pressure in the whole body enabling you to naturally return to a desirable state of improved health. We recognize each person as a unique individual and that any diagnosis is simply a description of the symptoms that a person has that we can use to communicate. We treat the whole person.
