What Is Myofascial Release?

Most people know about the skeletal system and the muscular system but most have not heard of the fascial system, which connects the skeletal system to the muscular system. 

Your fascial system supports, protects and stabilizes your entire body. It is normally flexible but restrictions (knots) in it will cause chronic pain and reduce movement.

CAUSES OF FASCIAL RESTRICTIONS:

• poor posture
• inflammation
• injuries
• surgeries
• accidents
• trauma
• scar tissue
• mental stress
• repetitive movements

Fascia is a thin sheet of connective tissue that looks like a cobweb and surrounds every musculoskeletal structure in the human body (bones, cartilage, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, organs and blood vessels.

Microcurrent is a form of therapy that delivers low level electrical currents that mimic the body's own electrical signals. It has been found effective in reducing chronic pain and inflammation, assist soft tissue injuries and can help a number of health conditions. 

Our bodies naturally generate electrical currents. When injuries occur or when pain is present, these electrical currents are disrupted or diminished, cell function is impaired and the healing process is slowed down.

Microcurrent is able to restore normal frequencies within the cells, regenerate tissues, decrease pain and inflammation, relax the nervous system and speed up the recovery process.

***Microcurrent Therapy is safe and FDA approved, it generally involves several sessions, results are cumulative over time.

***The FDA approved microcurrent device uses micro-amperage

The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid our body of toxins and waste. It is part of your immune system.

tummy tuck, bbl, etc.
