What is Myofascial Release (MFR)
Myofascial release (MFR) therapy is a massage technique which releases tension in the fascia. Accumulated unresolved fascial tension can develop into myofascial pain.
The myofascial release technique is the manipulation of soft tissue with a sustained and an appropriate amount of pressure applied horizontally the along the direction of the fascia to stretch and to lengthen the fascia, and therefore breaking down the fascial adhesion and trigger points.
