Myofascial Release Cardiff Penarth Cowbridge and Barry

‘Fascia’ is the connective tissue network which extends from the top of the head to the tip of the toes and it protects and supports every tissue and organ in the body. Normally when the fascial system is relaxed and functioning correctly, it provides cushioning, support, strength and flexibility.

Following any physical/emotional trauma and through poor posture, the fascial network loses it’s cushioning and hardens in the affected site, causing the internal structures to become pulled out of alignment. This tightening and hardening creates bands of tension in the fascia three dimensionally throughout the body, resulting in referred symptoms in different areas of the body from the original injury site.

Myofascial Release is quite different from having a massage. Slow, unforced, sustained pressure is used to move through each fascial restriction, allowing the network to naturally release and unwind its self back to a normal state of function. It is not painful, but has sometimes been likened to the feeling of the ‘skin stretching’

How can MFR help you?

Myofascial release is great for everyone. Whether you’re a professional athlete looking to increase or maintain your flexibility or you’re an office worker feeling tense and stressed and that your posture is suffering! The gentle, sustained approach is also excellent for those suffering from chronic myofascial pain or fibromyalgia, who find massage too painful.
