It is amazing the results that can be achieved by freeing up areas of pain and tension with Myofascial Release. Fascia has been described as 'The binding web', or your 'soft skeleton', it is layers of connective tissue, which are connected from your head to toe, covering every surface in your body down to cellular level. It lubricates, insulates and connects the structures in your body. Like a “pull” in a sweater, the effects of ongoing tension and strain are thought to build over time. Abnormal pressures may tighten or bind fascia to underlying structures, causing adhesions. Even though they don’t show up on diagnostic tests, these restrictions can stiffen joints and contribute to restricted motion, numbness, tingling, and pain.
