Myofascial Release

Welcome to Myofascial Release UK and Ireland (MFR UK) Fascial workshops for healthcare professionals

Enhance your treatments and effectiveness as well as take the strain off your own body by learning how to feel beyond muscle and bone and treat the fascial network.

Fascia feels very different to muscle and whilst treating muscles can allow for an elastic component change and a release of tension, when you learn how to feel and treat fascia you can also affect the bones, muscles, vessels, organs and every living cell supported by the fascial matrix.

Don't limit your treatments, learn this valuable approach that will provide lasting results

MFR UK offers postgraduate workshops for healthcare professionals that enhance diagnostic and therapeutic skills in treating the whole body. The workshops provide a skillful and unique blend of both direct and non direct fascial techniques and approaches that can be immediately integrated into existing practices. This integration of applications is called integrated myofascial therapy, iMFT.

Myofascial release therapy is effective in the treatment of both physical and emotional pain and discomfort including back pain, sporting injuries, fibromyalgia, chronic myofascial pain syndrome and trigger point formation, repetitive strain injury, headaches, jaw, neck and shoulder issues.

A fantastic new DVD available, Strolling Under the Skin.

 

This 28-minute video contains some of the most fascinating images of living fascia ever filmed. Dr. Jean Claude Guimberteau is a plastic surgeon who has been researching the body's 'sliding system' that allows fascial planes to move on each other. The beauty of this film is that is living fascia in a living person rather than a cadaver. The sheer poetry of the images is enough, but you also learn how the collagen, ground substance water and fat work together to make the 'sliding system' -- the body's interconnected system of loose connective tissue.

 

DVD - PAL. 28 mins with English commentary and music.

£30.00 including delivery within the UK and NI.
