Initial Myofascial Release (MFR) Assessment
Description
This is your initial assessment that involves a case history, full assessment of posture, ROM and tissue mobility, both on and off the table, with treatment to follow, time allowing. Fascia is connective tissue in your body, that covers every bone, muscle, tendon, ligament, nerve, organ and cell, from tip to toe! It is one continuous piece of tissue, which is why sometimes when we hurt a body part, the pain or dysfunction shows up somewhere seemingly completely different! For example low back pain appears after the restriction has already taken hold in your fascial system. Fascial restrictions show up when the fascia becomes stuck in dysfunctional patterns, due to among others: poor posture, injury, trauma (physical and emotional) as pain or with repetitive movements in our day to day lives. Using a combination of hands on techniques, both on the table and on the matt for re-movement education, incorporating therapy balls or foam rollers, come learn how to release pain and strain and restore functional movement to your body. This is a gentle session, with profound and long sustaining results. Treatments on the massage table are done in shorts and a t-shirt.
