Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds everything in our bodies, not just the muscles.
Myofascia is a subset of fascia, which exists within our muscles.
Think of it like the clothing to our insides.
Instead of “going through the motions” with traditional stretching techniques, which are often uncomfortable, boring, and produce limited benefits…
Myofascial Stretch Therapy is an advanced, PAIN-FREE stretching method performed primarily on a stretch table that uses assisted movement to “dance” with the body’s connective tissue and place the client in a state of deep relaxation.
- It’s For EVERYONE
From Buff Beach Surfers to Tight-Limbed Tradies Myofascial Stretch Therapy is for everyone, from fitness lovers to couch dwellers, dentists to dancers, mums to sons, and professional athletes to office workers.
It’s for those living with chronic pain issues.
It’s for those wanting to gain a bit more flexibility as they get older and are more prone to injury.
It’s for curious pleasure seekers who want to experience the bliss of total relaxation.
And it’s for those who have forgotten what it’s like to live in a young and vibrant body unhindered by low-level tightness and muscle tension.
- Superior Health and Fitness Benefits Compared to Traditional Stretching
Traditional stretching is used primarily as an injury precaution measure to “loosen up” the body.
The stretches are generally uncomfortable, held for a few seconds in one place, and most people fall back on a small number of basic positions learned in high school.
In comparison to this static stretching, Myofascial Stretch Therapy uses body movement to create deep relaxation and unlock a wide range of health benefits.
These benefits include:
- Enhanced athletic performance and improved flexibility
- Fast pain relief
- Clearing away muscle stiffness and soreness
- Better natural body functioning
- More energy
- Better sleep and
- General enhanced well-being.
Or, if nothing else, you can always sell clients on the fact that it will improve their sex lives (because it’s true!)
- It’s Pain Free
Most people believe in the idea of “no pain, no gain,” particularly when it comes to fitness, sports, and athletic conditioning.
Traditional stretching has taught its “victims” that it must be painful to be doing anything good.
Bracing and holding yourself in a pain posture tenses the body and creates resistance.
This only impedes treatment.
When the mind and body are fully relaxed, the tissue will feel like it’s just MELTING.
Mmmm… pure ecstasy feels pretty nice.
- Now It’s Actually Fun to Stretch
Let’s face it, traditional stretching is not normally seen as fun.
If anything, it’s often seen as a chore, like doing the dishes.
This can be because people find it boring, they can’t find the time, or they can’t stretch themselves without experiencing pain.
- Don’t Just Address Symptoms, Get to the True Source of Pain
I like to say “a knee issue isn’t always a knee issue.”
We have fascial lines that run all throughout the body.
Clients with tight calves can get headaches if a line is tight.
By assessing and treating the fascial lines, you can find the source of the issue and fix the problem for good.
- Get Into Areas That You Can’t Get To Yourself
Myofascial Stretch Therapy is designed to work the fascial lines to hit angles that your can’t hit on your own.
It’s a method to relieve the pain, not cause more pain.
This includes getting into joints, where up to 40% of tightness can get locked up in the body.
- Improved Posture
Myofascial Stretch Therapy plays a vital role in correcting postural imbalances by targeting fascial restrictions that contribute to poor alignment.
By elongating and rebalancing the fascia, this therapy aids in achieving and maintaining better posture.
Maintaining proper posture is essential for overall well-being.
However, modern lifestyles, prolonged sitting, and repetitive movements often lead to postural imbalances.
These imbalances can cause discomfort, strain on muscles, and even affect our confidence.
Myofascial Stretch Therapy focuses on releasing tension in the fascia, which directly influences posture.
By addressing fascial restrictions through targeted stretches, it helps to realign the body, improving overall posture and restoring balance.
Through regular therapy sessions, individuals can experience significant improvements in their posture.
The elongation and rebalancing of the fascia contribute to better alignment, alleviating strain on muscles and promoting a more upright and confident posture.
