@loriesco Welcome to Connect! I'm glad to hear about your myofascial release tissue work. I am also a fan of MFR, and have done it for years with my physical therapist. Typically, it isn't painful or aggressive unless there is a reason for that. The way that MFR works is to create a shearing pressure against the barrier of tight tissue, and then just wait for the body to unwind the fascia so it can move and glide again. By working through the layers, you get deeper into the body with repeated sessions. In doing this, it releases everything it needs for healing, and lets body fluids circulate in tissue that was previously dehydrated. I recommend MFR a lot and I do a lot of it on my own at home to maintain my condition. We have a discussion about MFR that you may enjoy. Thanks for sharing your experience!
