The Nook Intro to Myofascial Release

Service Description

Hey Yogis, make friends with your fascia! We all wear a continuous 3D suit of tissue which extends throughout the body down to the cellular level. This is our fascia. It is the environment within which all our other bodily systems - muscles, brain, spinal cord, nerves, arteries, organs, glands etc are encased. Healthy fascia facilitates the healthy function of these other bodily systems. When our bodies experience a trauma, whether through physical injury or psychological & emotional stress, the fascia responds by slowly tightening and forming areas of restriction. These restrictions exert crushing pressure on to adjacent structures, often causing many familiar symptoms of disease to arise. The John F Barnes MFR approach holds gentle, sustained pressure at barriers in the fascia, and we quietly wait. In time the body allows the fascia to soften and flow, releasing restrictions as it does so, which enables greater freedom of movement, reduction in pain levels and the safe release of somatic trauma. I hope that I have piqued your curiosity about this gentle but powerful treatment approach and you enjoy trying it for yourselves.
