Acubody Therapists Can Now Provide Myofascial Release

1. Acubody Therapists Can Now Provide Myofascial Release The majority of people do not have the first idea what “myofascial release” is all about and how it would in any way affect them. That is by no means surprising because it is a technical term used by therapists whose job is to help people recover from all sorts of pain and injury which can be suffered by anyone, anywhere, and at any time. The fascia in the human body is a continuous web that extends through the whole body, and its’ job is to meet resistance and support the human frame. It surrounds, infuses, and supports every other organ and tissue of the body and under normal conditions is relaxed, which lets us move and perform without suffering any sort of pain, or indeed restriction. It is made up of two main types of fibres, elastin and collagen, and is dynamic by nature, responding to any pressure applied to it. However, if you suffer from any sort of physical injury, or even emotional injury, which can cause poor posture, the fascia can harden in the place in the body which has been affected, and then this will transfer along the lines of tension on it. This means that it can twist and pull and cause pain in a point that is not near the site that has actually been affected. You may have had a loose thread in a sweater or shirt and attempted to break it or pull it off, only to find that it affects the garment in a completely different place. This is how fascia works. Of course, most people do not understand how the system works and continue to suffer pain and discomfort because the fascia is twisting and pulling in one place and causing pain in another.

2. Myofascial release in London is the term that is used for the release of the build- up of tension in the fascia causing pain in a different area, and is practiced by the therapists at Acubody in North London with the aim of releasing pain by stretching and easing the fascia in the point that it is twisted or overstretched. It works by the therapist finding the point in the body where the fascia is tight and twisted and then putting pressure on those body tissues in a specific direction until there comes a point where he or she feels a point of resistance. In other words, the muscles and tissue do not want to go any further. This relies heavily on the skill of Acubody’s therapists in locating the point in the body where the problem lies and then using those skills to put pressure on the fascia in the appropriate direction. The pressure is then held for perhaps a minute and a half, and the result is that the fascia relaxes. This in turn means that the point of pain is suddenly eased, and the pain disappears. It may not be rocket science, but it takes a long time to learn the skills required to carry out myofascial release successfully.
