This is a technique for stretching soft tissues, primarily muscles, fascia and tendons.  Many clients complain of having tight musscles. Sometimes stretching  gives temporary relief from the feelings of tightness. One of the reasons bacis stretching gives only temporary relief is because muscles are not uniformly tight.  There may be localised areas of tension or adhesions restricting a few fibres only. When we perform active stretches, it may not necessarily be the tight part that lengthens, but the part that is more pliable. Soft tissue release helps localize a stretch to those fibres in the muscles that most need lengthening. This technique improves both range of movement and quality of movement making it more fluid and less jerky, a real booost to any athlete.  This tachnique is used in a physical therapy treatment or in a pre event sport massage.

Th Myofascia has been underestimated for a long time and only recently is research proving how amazing and important it is.  Often chronic pain and postural problems are a result of problems with our myofascia. The myofascia is like a web that wraps between and around all of our muscles and joints, from the top of our head to the tips of our toes.  When it gets tight it can be like wearing a tight shirt, we lack the slack to fully move.  Myofascial  release  creates  space like putting on a bigger shirt giving the room to move. This also relieves pain.
