Myofascial Release (MFR) is a safe and effective hands-on technique that involves applying varying levels of sustained pressure into myofascial tissue restrictions. It is a form of decompression, stretching and balancing that has a profound effect on the body’s tissues at a deeper level. MFR uses a complete range of pressures from “off the body” energy work to light, deep and very deep pressure when it is appropriate.
