Myofascial Release

Posted by Claudia on April 1, 2012
Posted in: Personal Training.

I already talked about injury prevention prior!
This is part two and has been requested 🙂
Myofascial release deals with our connective tissue in letting go of adhesions~
A very familiar method is rolling on a foam roller ( find it in sports stores, online or in Physical Therapy stores like Protect the Back!) 
Position the Foam Roller on the floor and slowly drag your body over it ( mostly legs and back) from all sides, while keeping your core tight!
Stop at every “knot” that you are feeling and stay on it for about 20 seconds!
That is how long it will take for your receptors to recognize that they will have to let go!
Knots, scar tissue, adhesions are caused by a protective mechanism of your body!
Your body is trying to protect tissue …..
These adhesions cause to limit range of motion to a muscle or joint and restrict blood flow!
Eventually it can cause major problems in your joints, the way your kinetic chain changes, pain all over your body!
Another method is Active Release as used by some Chiroparactors!
Deep tissue massage is also one way to get rid of adhesions ( with trigger points)
Some areas are harder to reach than others!
To reach that tight little piriformis ( located deep inside your butt muscle and originated from your sacrum and attached to your grater trochanter or big top of your thigh bone) use a tennis ball!
Either way you will have to take care of it if you would like your tissue to stay healthy!!!
You will have to repeat this at least every 3 days, because it will take your body 3 days to get back to what it was used to….or back to bad 🙁
It will take about 10 session for your nervous system to realize that this is were it needs to be ( ROM, soft and flexible).
The longer you have had your injuries, the longer it will take to get back to normal!
If you need a good Massage Therapist to help you with a major problem, please leave me a message!
Has to be Las Vegas area 😉
