Fascial Release Therapy

Fascial Release Therapy

Fascial Release Therapy is a gentle therapy that works deeply into the body to release restrictions that may have formed in your body and be causing pain, discomfort and restriction.  However, when restrictions form these can cause pain and other symptoms often referred to elsewhere in the body.  Restrictions can form as a result of accidents, injuries, surgeries, scar tissue, repetitive movements, posture, stress or for most of us a combination of these.

Fascial Release Therapy works to progressively assist the body to release these restrictions, allowing the body to soften, reorganise, rebalance and reset the nervous system.

What is Fascia?

Fascia is a continuous three dimensional web of connective tissue that runs through and around the entire body, surrounding muscles, supporting joints, stabilizing organs and linking one region to the next from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.  It doesn’t function in isolated parts, it functions as a whole, shaping how movement, force and tension are distributed throughout the body.

For fascia to function well, it must remain hydrated.  Healthy fascia relies on the constant exchange of interstitial fluid and adequate blood circulation to maintain its elasticity and ability to glide.  When that fluid exchange is reduced, whether from injury, repetitive movement, stress or prolonged tension, fascia begins to lose its adaptability.  It thickens, stiffens and resists movement rather than supporting it.  Tension doesn’t disappear, it redistributes it.

Because fascia is continuous, restrictions don’t stay local.  A limitation in the foot can influence the ankle, alter knee mechanics, tighten the hip, change spinal movement and eventually present tension in the neck or head.  The body doesn’t experience strain in separate places, it responds as a system.

Fascial Release Therapy can be a beneficial addition to your wellness routine

Fascial Release Therapy is a safe and effective way to relieve pain and improve mobility.  By targeting the fascia, Fascial Release Therapy can assist to release tension and restore flexibility, improve blood flow and oxygenation, reduce stress and anxiety.
