Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.
How is this relevant for Ayurveda doctors ?
Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/ or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do NOT SHOW UP in many of the standard tests (X-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.) Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery.
Here I have shared some of the videos I have learned from my client turned friend Sarah Stephan, Yoga Master from US, specially trained to work efficiently with doctors and health care practitioners of many types. She comes from 3 generations of US family medicine physicians.

Myofascial release enables the Ayurveda doctor to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia. The use of Myofascial Release allows doctor to look at each patient as a unique individual by using a multitude of Myofascial Release techniques and movement therapy resulting enhancement of strength, improved flexibility, and postural and movement awareness.
