Elevate Exploratories: Myofascial Release 101
February 14, 2023 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Join us as we explore the Myofascial Release (MFR) approach to pain relief and authentic healing. MFR is a hands-on technique to apply gentle, sustained pressure and holds or stretches to release restrictions and pain throughout your body. This introductory course will teach you the principles, and you will leave with some self-treatment techniques to continue on your own.
What is MFR?
Fascia is a head to toe continuous structure intersecting every cell of the body. An injury, illness, trauma, stress, surgery, prolonged posture, pregnancy, or even the birth process can cause restrictions to form in the fascia. The restrictions continue to grow like roots on a tree throughout the body. They can cause pain, tightness, decreased range of motion, decreased flow of body fluids, decreased mobility – and these signs and symptoms can be felt in any area of the body. They can put up to 2000 lbs per square inch of pressure on pain-sensitive structures. These restrictions can not be seen on x-rays, MRIs, CT scan, but they can be seen and felt by a trained Myofascial Release therapist.
Who is it for?
Anyone dealing with back pain, headaches, pelvic pain, neck pain, sports injuries, repetitive motion injuries, birth trauma or injuries, chronic pain, disc problems, migraines, neurological dysfunction, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, adhesions, jaw pain (TMJ), painful scares, scoliosis, infants/children, sciatica, women’s health issues (including pregnancy)
