MFR

Fascia is a sheath of stringy connective tissue that surrounds every part of your body. It provides support to your muscles, tendons, ligaments, tissues, organs, nerves, joints and bones. When your fascia is healthy, it’s flexible and stretches with you. When your fascia tightens up, it can restrict movement and cause painful health conditions. It resembles a thread pulled out of a jumper.

MFR is based on the idea that fascia is something like a suit that covers the entire body and in which all the fibers are interconnected and affect each other both positively and negatively.

Different types of movement are used, starting from gentle massages performed using only a few fingers, to deep tissue massages, which are very gentle, but also very effective. These movements are aimed at relaxing the contracted fascia and returning it to its normal state.
In addition to relieving pain, Myofascial release helps to correct body posture and increase mobility, and in children with cerebral palsy, it also reduces muscle tone and increases joint mobility.

It is also advisable to drink plenty of fluids during and after the treatment to reduce side effects. This is because fascia, like any other system undergoing treatment, flushes out toxins and water that has been trapped inside, and this can lead to nausea and weakness that patients feel after the treatment. Fluid intake alleviates or cancels these side effects.
Doctors usually don’t talk much about this technique because it’s not taught in standard medical schools.
