MYOFASCIAL & MYOSPINAL RELEASE
WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL RELEASE?
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate.
Trauma, 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 tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.)
The use of Myofascial Release allows us to look at each patient as a unique individual. Our one-on-one therapy sessions are hands-on treatments during which our therapists use a multitude of Myofascial Release techniques and movement therapy. We promote independence through education in proper body mechanics and movement, self treatment instruction, enhancement of strength, improved flexibility, and postural and movement awareness.

WHAT IS MYOSPINAL RELEASE
Myospinal Release (MSR), as the name implies, (myo = muscles, spinal=spine) is a corrective and preventive health promoting, hands on modality that focuses on releasing muscle spasm along the spine including the suboccipital muscles.
Everyone has a certain degree of muscle spasm along the spine and suboccipital muscles. Carrying continuous and excess tension in these muscles interferes with circulation, limiting oxygen/nutrients to the tissues, increasing lactic acid and interrupting nerve transmission.
Myospinal Release uses gentle, non-invaisve instrumentation and hands-on techniques to help the body release the chronic para-vertebral muscle spasm, freeing up the nerve system to ensure maximum transmission and performance.Benefits of regular MSR care includes, decreased pain, improved immune function, better sleep, improved mental focus, relaxation, and an overall sense of well being.
