Myofascial Release
As published in Nexus - Colorado's Holistic Journal


Massage-type techniques are employed to coax muscles in spasm to relax. Chronically tense muscles restrict blood flow and fatigue the body. By applying gentle pressure to connective tissues or fascia, normal alignment and function can be restored and chronic pain eliminated. Developed in the late 1960s by John Barnes, Myofascial Release can treat neck and back pain, headaches and recurring sports injuries, among other conditions. Certification in massage, physical or occupational therapy is required.
