What can I expect?
This therapy is done by hand using gentle techniques that seek to return the fascia to its optimal state by stimulating the abundant receptors found in the fascia and manually manipulating the tissue. It helps to facilitate rehydration of the fascia, get it to soften up, remove the restrictions, reduce thickening and improve its ability to glide freely over the surrounding fascial sheets and other tissues. This results in an overall better balanced and more comfortable body, pain reduction, positive postural changes and less compensation.
Fascia can become dysfunctional for numerous reasons. Among those reasons are the body’s physiological response to trauma. That trauma can be physical, emotional or mental; our body’s response is the same. Our tissues hold onto those experiences, even years down the line, especially if we were for whatever reason, unable to move through our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems normally when the trauma occurred. This puts the body into a “functional freeze” state. FTR techniques assist in encouraging the body to access that trauma for processing on a physiological level, as well assisting with deactivating the sympathetic nervous system (fight/flight/freeze) and putting the body into a more parasympathetic state (rest and digest), thus bringing the body into homeostasis (balance).
The following are signs that you could benefit from Fascia and Trauma Release:
- postural dysfunction
- chronic and acute pain (back pain, knee pain, neck pain etc.)
- fasciitis
- headaches
- cramps
- tears and injury
- prolonged stiffness after exertion
- poor lymph drainage
- reduced mobility, flexibility and range of motion
And more!
