What is Myofascial Release?
Anywhere there is a nerve in the body there is fascia. The ability of a nerve to respond to its environment is related to the qualities of the fascial tissue that surrounds it, he explained. Most people create pain for themselves by having inefficient, accumulated patterns of movement.
