Experience Myofascial Release Therapy in Wilmington, North Carolina
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a safe and highly effective bodywork technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into connective tissue restrictions to help eliminate pain and restore range of motion. The fascia softens and the therapeutic release happens after the therapist holds this gentle stretch for at least 3 minutes. Pressure varies from light to deep, depending on the client's needs. It is a holistic form of therapy that treats the locations of restrictions that are causing discomfort, as well as the symptomatic areas of pain. This requires skilled and sensitive hands, which will follow the tissue in a three dimensional fashion for a full release.
We are the premier providers of Myofascial Release in Wilmington, NC.
Physical trauma, emotional trauma, postural habits, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain-sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard medical tests. The John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach is considered to be the ultimate therapy that is safe, gentle and consistently effective in producing results that last. John F. Barnes, PT has trained over 100,000 therapists and physicians in this work. He is a physical therapist, considered to be a visionary and teacher of the highest caliber.
What Is Fascia?
Fascia is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider's web or a sweater. Fascia is very densely-woven connective tissue, covering and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, and nerve, as well as all of our internal organs. The most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that it is not just a system of separate coverings; It is actually one continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption. Understanding this, you can begin to see that each part of the entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia, like the yarn in a sweater..
Fascia plays an important role in the support and function of our bodies. In the normal healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration. It has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. When one experiences physical trauma, emotional trauma, scarring, or inflammation, however, the fascia loses its pliability. It becomes tight, restricted, and a source of tension to the rest of the body. These traumas also have a cumulative effect on the body when the fascia hasn’t been treated. Fascial restrictions can exert excessive pressure causing all kinds of symptoms producing pain, headaches or restriction of motion.
