Myofascial release therapy

What is it?

Fascial Manipulation Technique was invented by renowned Italian physiotherapist, Luigi Stecco, and has proven to be fast and effective method of reducing pain and discomfort in injured tissue.

‘Fascia’ is connective tissue beneath the skin that helps to organise, separate and contain the body’s muscles and internal organs. Fascial Manipulation shifts therapeutic attention from treatment of the consequence to treatment of the cause.

This is quite different from traditional medicine, which, for example, when confronted by a symptomatic organ, examines that organ only, or which, when attending to a specific musculoskeletal area, examines just that isolated site. Our approach recognizes the importance of the physiologic balance of the entire system, focusing on the interconnected nature of the musculoskeletal and of the visceral systems and their connection to one another. By addressing these connections, Myofascial Release Therapy aims to unlock problems and return the system to its physiologic balance.

Good to know

Pain is an important physical signal and an asset from a therapeutic standpoint: by alerting us to pain, the fragile body declares its limits and enables us to protect it.

Conversely, by covering pain with analgesics (painkillers, in other words), we drown out the “help yell” our body sends us, and continue to move in harmful ways. This can cause impaired joint movement, or articular dyscoordination, which in turn increases the risk of further injury to the related joint.

The fascia therapist uses pain as a diagnostic instrument and, determining its (fascia-based) cause, works on the fascia to prevent further injury and normalize the muscular function. Applied properly, Myofascial Manipulation Technique can alleviate pain and prevent its return.
