Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) for treating compression and pain

@bude MFR helps problems caused by fascial restrictions. For example, I do get spasms in my neck and shoulder that affect my spine. I also have a scar from cervical spine surgery in my neck that tightens up periodically. Doing MFR and stretching, helps relieve this and get my body moving better. I sometimes find myself unable to turn my head or with some pain in my jaw that can be brought on by stress. In addition to working on MFR stretching, I also address my emotional well-being by going out and doing some fun things to give myself better things to think about. All of that helps me. I learned a lot from my physical therapist who showed me various ways to self treat with MFR stretching.
Do you know what is the cause of your back spasms?

No, that is part of the issue. I fell against a railing over a year ago. I have degeneration in the back and have for years but did not start getting the spasms until after the fall. I have done PT, trigger points, nerve blocks, prednisone, ablation, Chiro, massage, acupuncture, etc. Only the nerve blocks seem to help for the very short time that they are serving the purpose - to do the ablation. I stumbled onto a discussion here regarding intercostal nerve issues and the symptoms were almost identical to what I had been experiencing so the last nerve block was with a steroid in that area to hopefully make it last longer but not a lot of improvement with that either. Nobody can seem to tell me what is causing it. Is there somehow that I can find that out so we are treating the correct issue?
