Myofascial Stretching is an exceptional method of self-treatment based on the principles of Myofascial Release (MFR) as developed by John F. Barnes, PT. The techniques employ sustained pressure using a small inflated ball and active elongation into restrictions in the fascia.
Myofascial Pain Self Treatment Book
Myofascia or fascia is a network of soft tissue in the body which connects and holds together our musculature, as well as other structures. It acts as a kind of casing around muscle and bone. At the same time, it may also cause us pain. A myofascial pain self treatment book can help you learn how to work with your fascia and manipulate it to relieve muscle pain.
When we try to stretch sore muscles, this structure must also stretch, and sometimes it can restrict us. Myofascial pain syndrome is a pain disorder often caused by constrictions in this tissue. Similar to fibromyalgia, this disorder can cause severe pain, and even restrict motion, incapacitating the sufferer.
These issues may seem like something that can only be solved by a medical professional for certain fees, but with the right knowledge, self care is possible. It can even lead to permanent improvement. The methods taught in a myofascial pain self treatment book involve long, focused stretching exercises which are designed to fully relax the fascia.
This both lengthens and strengthens the tissue to produce lasting results. Pain disorders brings many complications to the lives of those who have them, and often lead to regular expensive doctor visits and trouble with pain medication.
A self treatment book will empower you with knowledge, not only relieving pain but relieving the stress of relying on the medical system.
