MYOFASCIAL RELEASE THERAPEUTIC STRETCH
What is Myofascial Release (MFR) and what can it do?
Myofascial Release, or MFR, is a gentle hands-on therapeutic bodywork technique that targets fascial restrictions and helps reduce pain, restore motion and increase flexibility. Restritions in fascia can lead to chronic back and neck pain, shoulder and arm pain, hip or leg pain, sciatica, and mis-aligned posture. Pain from injury, headaches and TMJ, muscle pain and soreness, and repetitive use, including computer and phone use, can all be relieved with myofascial release therapy.

What is Fascia?
Fascia is a "liquid-like" web of connective tissue that surrounds every part of our body from our muscles, tendons, ligaments, tissues, organs, nerves, joints and bones and allows for our organs to slide against each.
When the fascia is healthy it is lubricated, flexible and moves or stretches with you.
Unhealthy fascia caused by physical injury or trauma - such as a fall, car accident, surgery, habitual poor posture, scarring, inflammation, and emotional trauma - will lose its flexibility.
When less flexible, it becomes tight and restricted, causing a cascade of tension in the rest of the body. Fascial restrictions in one part of the body can profoundly impact other parts of the body.

Therapeutic Bodywork - 60-90 min options
MYOFASCIAL RELEASE (MFR) THERAPEUTIC STRETCH BODYWORK is targeted work to areas of pain and pain patterns in posture. Myofascial Release combined with Trigger Point Therapy, Compression Therapy, and facilitated hands-on stretching improves both physical pain and psychological mood. MFR can help relieve muscle pain and stiffness, and loosen restrictions caused by fascia that is overused, overworked or injured. These techniques help by stretching ligaments, releasing adhesions, lengthening muscle tissue, and provide stress-relieving relaxation for the body and mind. Benefits can promote faster healing by increasing blood flow, collagen and elastin, and by reducing inflammation, to help restore the body to its intended alignment, length, strength, and function - easing pain, restoring flexibility, and improving movement. Longer lasting results!

About Diana
Diana received her massage therapy training at the Hands on Healing Institute, and then with Frances Nicolais for advanced training in John F. Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR) techniques (areas of focus include headaches, TMJ, pelvic and shoulder pain, hip and leg pain, and posture correction), Deep Mobilization, and Skin Rolling. Diana believes naturally healing the physical body can be achieved when understanding the core structural problems, then using myofascial release and other bodywork techniques to help kick-start the healing process. She is no stranger to working with the body: as a yoga instructor, she discovered similarities between myofascial release and yin yoga – a style of yoga she teaches that stretches the fascia – and knew she wanted to help clients one-on-one using these myofascial techniques. Diana is compassionate and empathetic and shares her true nature when working with clients.
