Massage & Bodywork Techniques

• MyoFascial Release Treatment
  Myofascial release (MFR) is an advanced therapy technique that Nancy utilizes to treat skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles. MFR softens muscles and the connective tissue called fascia. nancy's use of MFR is a gentle, a self-correcting process. Light to moderate, but focused and prolonged stretch and compression are applied to the body. It is usually done without oil, against the skin or over clothing. This valuable technique is used by Nancy to help her patients with their chronic pain.
