Myofascial
Release
Myofascial
Release involves using deep and strong pressure,
with very slow or gradual movement through the soft tissue adhesions. Myofacial
release work breaks down old scar tissue, reduces muscle tightness, and releases
nerve trapping. This method can help change old movement patterns, and help
with treatment of chronic injuries, which respond to treatment, but come back.
Examples of this are: muscle tension in the neck and shoulders or lower back.
Chinese Cupping or spooning have a similar effect, but can also bring blood
back into an area which has become dry or stagnant, such as occurs with tennis
elbow.
