What is Total Fascia Release?
First, let’s start with “what is fascia?”
FASCIA is the scientific term for connective tissue, which is already familiar to most of us in the form of ligaments, tendons and cartilage.
But fascia doesn’t just connect tissues and provide soft structure. It is a vast and complex network that touches every cell in the body, functioning as its most powerful sensory organ. This tissue serves in everyday detoxification, and even defends us from blunt force trauma and other injuries. The bottom line is that fascia is everywhere, and profoundly affects all body systems in often mysterious ways.
So what is Total Fascia Release?
Total Fascia Release (TFR) is a unique massage approach that softly pulls a person out of fight or flight, while gently unlocking their fascia: myofascia in their muscles, superficial fascia under their skin, and visceral fascia within their organ cavities. Using only super slow and calming movement, TFR instantly eliminates pain and stress, maximizes performance, and improves mental health and function in all of the body’s systems.
Who needs TFR?
Total Fascia Release taps into a person’s parasympathetic nervous system through safety and trust. The result is completely noninvasive, generally painless, and produces zero damage that would require recovery time, such as bruising or swelling. TFR is 100% customized for each session, meaning no one-size-fits-all protocols; it is only simple principles and powerful techniques applied using the therapist’s judgment and intuition.
Compared to typical massages like Swedish and “deep tissue,” as well as traditional forms of myofascial release, TFR achieves superior results in pain reduction and improved function that begin immediately and last days to months longer. If the cause of an adhesion is a past occurrence, permanent restoration is achievable no matter the age of the injury.
TFR can eliminate chronic joint/muscle pain, even from arthritis, bulging discs, and the untouchable frozen shoulder. Painful conditions can also disappear such as migraines, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, and IBS.
TFR effectively treats all forms of anxiety and trauma. Affecting every system, it also enhances appearance by improving posture & lymphatic flow, guiding the tissue to spread evenly across the body. Cellulite will vanish, fibrous scar tissue will melt, and unnatural folds and rolls will flatten to reveal your smooth natural figure.
Who can get TFR?
Due to its completely non-invasive and always customized approach, just about everyone can get and benefit from Total Fascia Release. The only contraindications are burns and recently open wounds, which are simply avoided during a session.
TFR can cure most soft tissue injuries beyond the initial inflammation stage, and provides powerful palliative care for countless health conditions. But everyday we are discovering new applications with extraordinarily fast healing results, and so the benefits continue to surprise us in their widening scope.
