Authentic MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Fascia is the tough layers of fibrous, collagen-based connective tissue found throughout the entire human body.
The JFB MFR approach is a hands-on technique of gentle sustained pressure into the myofascial restrictions to help eliminate pain and restore motion. This manual therapy uses a whole body approach with focus on the three-dimensional continuous web of fascia found throughout the body. As a result of trauma, stress, or injury, restrictions can occur within the fascia resulting in decreased range of motion, chronic pain and other various symptoms. Over time, through compensation, the body creates holding patterns that produce pain and dysfunction in other seemingly non-related areas of the body.
The binding down of the fascia, producing pressure on the joints, blood vessels, nerves, organs, and even the cells themselves, causes many disorders within the body. Symptoms develop as the body compensates and life-sustaining functions are compromised. MFR can gently free restrictions within this tough connective tissue and release the physical and energetic holding patterns while guiding the body back to its natural alignment.
Myofascial Release relieves the pressure of the fascia and helps to bring balance back to the body!
By Using The Various Techniques And Movement Therapy, True MFR Is About Finding The Source Of This Dysfunction And Treating The Whole Body.
CRANIAL SACRAL THERAPY
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive hands-on technique to restore normal position and motion of the bones of the skull, spine, and sacrum and restore cerebrospinal fluid flow. This technique is performed by using light touch to monitor the rhythm of the craniosacral system to detect potential restrictions and imbalances and help alleviate illness, pain and dysfunction.
Along with adults, children of all ages benefit from Myofascial Release and Craniosacral Therapy.
