Self myofascial release is an alternative therapy useful for treating skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood, oxygen, and lymphatic circulation, and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles.
"The fascia forms the largest system in the body as it is the system that touches the other systems in the body"
Fascia is the connective tissue found throughout the body. It covers the muscles (myofascia), visceral organs, nerves, blood vessels, and even the cells. Many organs are essentially held together, and in place, by fascial tissue.
Releasing tension held in the fascia can increase mobility and alleviate pain by relaxing muscles, increasing circulation, and encouraging a deep relaxation of mind, body, and spirit.
