Fascial Release is a manual therapy performed by therapists in order to improve flexibility, decrease tension/pressure in the body, and decrease pain. The technique is performed by using gentle or forceful pressure to challenge the fascia until a release is achieved.

Fascial release can have a profound effect on a person. Ranging from treating superficial issues, to long term trauma that has been stored in the body. With this in mind, there can be varying degrees of pain while the fascia is being released, but in general it is not a painful technique.

Fascial release treats the whole body, and depending on the amount of trauma that the body has received or how long there has been a dysfunction, it can take several sessions in order to fully restore the body to normal function.

There are not any current contraindications to receiving light touch fascial release. Some considerations are pregnancy, acute injury, connective tissue disorders, and fibromyalgia. Your therapist will take these in to consideration, and tailor the treatment to your specific needs in order to still achieve the release that you need.

Chronic back pain, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciatis, tension headaches, carpal tunnel, and many more.
