Making a Difference with………Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Myofascial Pain Syndrome Part 2

What is Myofascial Release and How Does it Work?
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a whole body, hands-on approach to healthcare. It is a mild and gentle form of stretching that has a profound effect upon the body. A slow gentle pressure allows the body's tissue to reorganise without force, release physical restrictions and release the body's unconscious holding and bracing patterns.
