about mfr

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a technique used to relieve pain and tension in the body caused by fascial restrictions.

Think of fascia as a spiderweb-like network of tissue that surrounds and connects everything inside your body - your muscles, bones, organs, and nerves. When fascia becomes tight and restricted, it can cause pain, stiffness, and loss of range of motion. Also, because it’s interlaced with blood and lymph vessels, tightness can cause problems with circulation, lymphatic drainage, and recovery.

MFR creates better movement between muscle and fascia to improve blood flow, lymph flow, release muscle tension and improve joint range of motion. Perfect for post-workout muscle recovery, stiffness, loss of range of motion, dull aches and pains, long term muscle and joint dysfunctions. 

MFR can help alleviate pain, improve flexibility, and enhance overall physical function by releasing tension and restoring balance in the fascial system.

Trigger Point Work

Applying and holding pressure to specific trigger points in the muscle (generally thought of as knots) in order to release tension, reduce pain, and improve range of motion in the affected muscle. 

Pain and recovery specialist is doing the cupping technique

Cupping

Applying suction cups to a tight, restricted, or painful area on the body to promote circulation and lymphatic drainage, remove toxins, and increase range of motion. Cupping “frees up” fascia and creates better movement and speeds up healing.

Scraping

Scraping the skin in a specific area of the body with a smooth-edged tool, such as a spoon or a specialized scraping tool, to promote healing by increasing blood flow to the affected area and stimulating the immune system. Scraping therapy can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation.
