Question 1

What is myofascial release (MFR) therapy?

Accepted Answer

Myofascial Release (MFR) therapy is an effective long-term treatment for pain and dysfunction in the body. It involves applying gentle, sustained pressure into fascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore function.

Question 2

How does MFR work?

Accepted Answer

To disengage the body's protective responses, pressure is slowly and gently applied to fascial restrictions. The pressure is then sustained until a release is felt by the therapist or client, often a minimum of three to five minutes. This is effective for long-term treatment of pain and dysfunction in the body.

Question 3

What is fascia?

Accepted Answer

Fascia is a web of connective tissue that envelops, supports, and protects every structure in the body. It exists from head to toe as one continuous, uninterrupted system. When you injure yourself, you also injure your interconnected fascial tissue, causing it to tighten and dehydrate, forming restrictions.

Question 4

What modalities are used in the sessions?

Accepted Answer

The therapist uses somatic experiencing® (SE), dialogue, movement, and trauma-sensitive touchwork, including myofascial release (MFR) and scarwork™, depending on the client's situation, input, and informed consent. It is recommended to start with SE sessions to build relational safety and develop a better understanding of the client's nervous system before incorporating bodywork.

Question 5

What are the goals of the therapy?

Accepted Answer

The therapist's intention is to foster choice and agency, encourage more access to the client's present moment experience, deepen their relationship with their body, build resiliency, and support relief of patterns of pain and tension. The therapist aims to help clients let go of the pain they've experienced for so long and rediscover their resiliency.
