Myofascial release is a type of bodywork which employs a steady, constant physical pressure, working through restricted areas in the soft tissues of the body. Known for its effectiveness in alleviating pain and in creating healthy changes in the muscular and connective tissues of the body, this massage has become the foundation for many therapists’ work.
In this 4-hour continuing education (CE) course on myofascial release, John Hoffmann, CMT, discusses how myofascial release, a type of deep tissue massage, helps create change in the physical structure of the muscle and fascia to alleviate chronic tension and pain. He demonstrates the strokes and a complete routine for providing myofascial release on the body from head to feet.
