Myofascial Release
Fascia is a specialized type of tissue that forms a single connective sheath which runs throughout the whole body. It plays an important role in the support of our bodies as it surrounds muscles and organs, attaches to bone and underlies skin. Restrictions and contractions in fascia affect posture, muscle length and range of motion.
Myofascial release (MFR) is a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.
Myofascial Release Protocol
- Treatment time is 30 to 60 minutes depending on the areas of restriction
- Treatment is recommended 2-3 times a week

Myofascial Training
MFR is a specialized post-graduate course that is performed by a Registered Massage Therapist.
