Holisticare Nikki, Ali and Claire specialise in Myofascial Release: gentle treatment unravels restrictions

Myofascial Release is a specialist technique that was developed by American Physiotherapist, John Barnes. An innovative and highly effective whole body approach for the evaluation and treatment of pain and dysfunction, the treatment works with your body to open up restrictions and scar tissue, which can cause many symptoms. Everything that happens to us from the time we are conceived is recorded w

ithin our fascial network (the myofascia). This is a continuous web of fibres that holds our cells in place and connects them all to each other, forming a bio-tensegrity system. This 3D network gives you strength, flexibility and stability meaning that no part of the body exists in isolation. The myofascia solidifies and shortens in response to any kind of trauma, repetition of movement or ongoing poor posture. It will slowly tighten, spreading tension throughout your whole body. There is a gloopy substance between the cells and fibres, called the ground substance. This reacts to physical and emotional stress and becomes more solid, preventing your body from being able to adapt to things and leading to symptoms and illness. The ground substance is thixotropic, meaning that it becomes more fluid in response to warmth and pressure. During treatment the heat comes from our hands and we use this reaction to feel where the restrictions are coming from and to gently release them. As we never force our patients’ bodies, the treatment is very safe and enables us to truly follow what each individual needs, producing long-term results. It also allows us to work very deeply without pain, so most of our patients find it a very relaxing treatment.
