What Is myofascial release?

Myofascial release is
- a hands-on, whole body therapy
- a slower, gentler technique than ordinary sports massage
Myofascial release…
- improves the health and consistency of the fascial tissue

Fascial tissue becomes restricted as the result of trauma, inflammation, and repetitive stress
Restrictions within the fascia can result in pain, numbness, decreased blood flow, and altered structural alignment

Fascial restrictions are caused by:
- Injury or trauma (physical or emotional)
- Inflammation
- Repetitive training
- Poor saddle fit
- Poor nutrition
- Bad footing
