@robinw Myofascial release is a type of manual therapy, but it is a very specific method that will only be understood by therapists who have done specific training with the John Barnes methods. Think of it like kneading bread dough. You sink in with your hands and push, except you hold it pushing against the tension of the barrier. When you hold that, the fascia can reorganize itself. It is kind of like a Chinese finger game where your finger is trapped if you pull too hard, but a gentle slow effort will let your finger escape the tube that holds it. Fascia converts to a liquid like web and can uncoil itself and reset in a new configuration. You will learn how to do home fascial stretching using balls or straps. You need to have a shearing force between 2 points and I can feel it when the fascia starts to slide as there is a tingling sensation. I have done MFR work for several years.
