What is myofascial release?

The fascia, or nadis, are the pressure points and energy lines running throughout your body. These lines connect to form a scaffolding system of tissue that holds your muscles, bones, and organs in place and transfers important information and fluids throughout the body. The points where these lines intersect are known as your chakras.

The fascia is one of the first parts of the body to develop in the womb and connects every system of your body in every way, making it a foundational part of your wellness. There are 72,000 of these lines running throughout your body! When the fascia lines get kinked or bound up, you feel tension and your mobility is limited. Over time, as you move in the same ways and hold the same postures again and again, your fascia builds up and stiffens in certain areas in order to support you. You get "issues in your tissues"!

​

Myofascial release is a method of loosening and reshaping the fascia, systemically targeting these lines to release tension and open up the flow of energy throughout the body. By doing so, the body experiences an influx of wellness benefits:

• Increased flexibility and strength

• Enhanced athletic performance

• Pain alleviation

• Boosted circulation

• More energy

• Improved mobility

• Accelerated recovery from injury

• Stress relief
