Myofascial Release Massage Therapy – Postural Connective Tissue Therapy

Myofascial Release is a form of soft tissue massage therapy used to address connective tissue and associated muscle structures. Connective tissue, also known as fascia, is the most abundant tissue in your body connecting your bones, muscles, and organs together by wrapping and infusing every single part of you. In fact, it is said if you could remove everything but the connective tissue, you would retain your shape! You are connected from head to toe by one single unit of fascia. It has no beginning and no end. It is in your skin, bones, muscles, even your blood cells!

Myofascia refers to muscle (myo) and connective tissue (fascia). Muscle is intimately connected to fascia which infuses and wraps each muscle and muscle fiber connecting it to bones, ligaments, and tendons. Healthy fascia is moist. It enables muscles and other structures to glide and move independently. Fascia can become congested and dehydrated resulting in ‘fascial gluing’. When fascia becomes glued, it sticks to adjacent structures and no longer fulfills its gliding function. Muscles and other structures stick together and function as a unit instead of individually as they were designed.

Restricted myofascia results in unnatural tension and pull on adjacent structures creating postural distortion, restricted motion, and pain. An example of this is an adherence of fascia in the outer leg muscles. This could be causing the pelvis to rotate resulting in a pulling on the opposite shoulder which tries to compensate for the twisted pelvis. All of this could be causing neck pain!
If I were to apply massage therapy techniques to your neck muscles only, your neck may feel better temporarily but the pain would soon return because we didn’t address the cause.

Scar tissue is a huge culprit in postural distortion. Scar tissue creates major restriction in the myofascia and must be released to resolve postural distortion. Myofascial release addresses scar tissue in addition to other types of fascial restriction.

By applying appropriate types of direct or indirect pressure to restricted myofascial structures, fibers become realigned creating flexibility and improved functioning.

I have had the privilege of working with OmShi’ through a difficult time in my life; I dealt with breast cancer. I came to know her as a consummate healer. She treated my body and fed my soul. She is blessed with an incredible energy that enables self healing. Thank you, OmShi’, for all you have done for me.
