Myofascial Release Burlington

Myofascial release is a safe and effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the myofascial, connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. Traditional medicine treats symptoms, not the root cause, traditional and alternative therapies release only the elastic and muscular component of the myofascial complex resulting in temporary changes. John Barnes myofascial release method restrictions are held at the barrier for 3 to 5 minutes or longer the central time element has to do with the viscous flow and PS electric phenomenon a low load, gentle pressure applied
slowly will allow the viscoelastic, medium fascia to elongate melt and unravel myofascial restrictions, essentially removing the street jacket from the system, and open up channels of communication.

Types of fascial restrictions treated:
Fascial restrictions develop from;
● Physical trauma
● Emotional trauma
● Repetitive motion
● Poor posture
● Surgical procedures
● Scarring
● Inflammation
● Dehydration to the fluid component of the fascial system

Fascia loses its pliability, shortens, thickens and mats down, producing pressures of up to 2000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures, and acts like a straight jacket, that over time causes immobility, dysfunction and pain. Fascialrestrictions do not appear on standard X-rays, MRIs, or CAT scans.
