In today's episode I'm excited to introduce you to Marisa Chadbourne. She is a myofascial release therapist and she's been my myofascial release therapist for many years. Marisa owns Touch of Health Myofascial Wellness Center in Sayville, NY. She created Touch of Health as a supportive and therapeutic environment to assist her clients through their healing process. Marisa is also a Certified NLP practitioner since 2019 and a locally and nationally published author regarding Fascia, the Mind-Body, and Subtle Energy. Today we talk about how myofascial release therapy can help people with muscle and joint pain, inflammation, stiffness, physical pain in general, and even recovery from trauma. The Myofascial Tissue The myofascial tissue is a network of tissue that spreads throughout your entire body. It connects your muscles, joints, and bones. It also provides support to your organs, helping to keep them in place. If you could see it, your fascia would look like a single sheet of tissue paper. The fascial system is omnipresent throughout the human body as one continuous web-like structure connecting all parts and systems together so, it's the only system in the body that actually comes in contact with every other system right down to the cellular level. The myofascial tissue has three major components: 1. elastin fibers, which give our bodily movement it's elasticity and stretch, 2. collagen fibers that give our physical structural support and 3. a ground substance which is a gel-like substance that mainly helps with intracellular communication. So, this matrix of collagen, elastin and ground substance is what holds our bodies upright. What is Myofascial Release Therapy Myofascial release therapy is a connective tissue therapy designed to bring the body back into its natural alignment by releasing facial restrictions, and in turn, this increases our range of motion. It also takes pressure off of pain sensitive structures within the body. All different types of injuries can be treated. It can even help people who have autoimmune disorders, neurological dysfunction, etc. During myofascial release therapy, the therapist applies light pressure by hand to find myofascial areas that feel stiff instead of elastic and movable. These stiff areas, or trigger points, are thought to limit muscle and joint movements, which can play a part in widespread muscle pain. The main difference between massage and myofascial release therapy is that in myofascial therapy we are focusing on the fascia or connective tissue, while in massage the main focus is on the muscles. With myofascial therapy, the goal is to release fascial restrictions in order to bring the body back into healthy alignment. This is done by using gentle sustained pressure of 5 minutes or more to make a very specific change within the connective tissue. A massage is more of a soft tissue mobilization technique. Another difference is in the intention to bring the whole body back into alignment by opening up the entire fascial system. For example, even if someone has neck pain, in myofascial release therapy we evaluate the whole-body posture instead of just focusing on one part of the body. What is a Myofascial Restriction? When we say there's a fascial restriction what we're mainly saying is that the ground substance part of the fascial system starts to become solidified. When that happens the elastin fibers, collagen and muscle fibers get stuck in the solidification and they're unable to slide across each other to do their job correctly. This will in turn stiffen movement and put pressure on pain sensitive structures. The main four causes for this solidification or facial restriction are surgery, repetitive movement, inflammatory responses and also trauma, whether it be physical or emotional trauma. This solidification can happen in response to our thoughts, environment or something that's happening to us on an emotional level. This is because of the mind-body connection and how they respond to each other. What we're looking for in myofascial release is what was the cause of the restriction. So we allow for there to be many different types of healing: structural healing, somatic healing, and emotional healing. Some people have an emotional release and some people don't. It really depends on the type of healing that they're looking for but it completely impacts the body much farther than people are aware of. When we open up a fascial restriction it's like opening up the dam of energy flow. Opening up the dam for more intercellular communication to flow smoothly. When we talk about emotion, a lot of times we refer to it as energy in motion, and when trauma happens in our lives, that energy can get stuck, leading to solidification of the ground substance. And so, as we shift the gel-like substance back to its normal state, the energy is released and that's what people are feeling. Sometimes during a myofascial release therapy the person might go into a meditative state or a deep relaxation state as this kind of therapy also stimulates the parasympathetic system and the vagus nerve. And that's when we have the opportunity to be able to go a little bit deeper in feeling and releasing trauma because we're not in the place of thought, but it has to happen naturally. Myofascial Release Therapy for Pain vs Maintenance This kind of therapy is good not only for when someone does get in pain (to help release it) but also for maintenance and preventing pain. What's important here is having body awareness and empowerment of how we can support ourselves during a treatment. It's important that people tune into their body to see how they feel over the next few days after their first session. Once people find that rhythm of what they need for maintenance they can make that decision on their own and so this decision is made from an innate place instead of being told what to do. If someone wants to make a lot of change quickly, they can do a myofascial intensive series, where the person comes in three to five times over one to two weeks and we get a lot done over that time. Then it's more likely for that change to stay with the person. We also teach people how to do self myofascial release at home so that release and opening that was made can be maintained at home by the patient by continuing to feel into their body and where they're restricted. This is the special relationship between the client and the practitioner doing work together and teaching the patient how to do it on his/her own. During this process you can also learn so much about your body, the signals it gives you and what it needs to heal. There are so many different symptoms that people come in with for this therapy, not just pain, but sleeping disorders, anxiety, fatigue, autoimmunity, neurological dysfunction, and they all benefit from this work. We look at symptoms as the signals the body is giving you. The most important part of the facilitation is guiding the client to get in touch with what these messages are on a subconscious level. This is another part that isn't just purely structural. We're looking at the body as a whole, mind, body and spirit, and how they are always working together. Combining Myofascial Therapy with Other Treatments When we identify that inflammation is causing the fascial restriction, we then ask why the inflammation is there in the first place. We need to take a look at your diet for example, so the client might be advised to take the healing to the next level by talking to a Functional Practitioner or a Naturopathic Dr. to help them. Then they get the benefit of both by working synergistically. As the inflammation is coming down and the body's healing, then there's less likelihood of repeated issues coming up. We don't want to just keep continuing releasing the same fascial restrictions over and over again. If what is causing the issue is a repetitive movement for example, then the client is oriented to find out how they can change that movement, and how they can change the inflammatory response. They need to make an ergonomic change. Or someone has a compensatory pattern from some type of physical movement they've been doing their whole life, then they can also do physical therapy along with myofascial release. This is because if you just continue to work on the restriction, without addressing the cause, you may not be solving the problem. So it is a priority to think about what other approaches will complement myofascial release therapy for each individual so that you can feel better for good. At the same time, myofascial therapy helps other approaches to work better because the fascia connects with all the other systems in the body. By opening fascial communication, it is going to support healing on every other level.

This month we had the immense pleasure of speaking with fellow body nerd Breana Gilcher. She shared her journey through a playing-related injury, her impressive knowledge of the body and fascial system, and how she balances life and work as an oboist, teacher, and myofascial release practitioner.  Breana Gilcher Bio: Breana Gilcher is an oboist, improviser, educator, and Certified Massage Therapist based in Los Angeles. Breana's music career spans orchestral playing, contemporary music, improvisation, and studio work. As an oboist she has collaborated with a myriad of groups and artists such as the LA Chamber Orchestra, LA Opera, Musica Angelica, wildUp, Wayne Shorter, and Andrea Bocelli. She is on faculty at the University of California, Santa Barbara as Lecturer in Oboe. Breana received her massage therapy training from Hands on Healing in Tujunga, California and completed an internship in Myofascial Release Therapy for musicians with Jenni Asher. She holds additional certifications in Music Therapy and Personal Training, as well as a certificate in Performing Arts Medicine. Having struggled with playing-related injuries and found Myofascial release to be incredibly beneficial to her own recovery and maintenance, one of Breana's passions is to provide artists with individualized therapy that understands the demands of a creative occupation, both before and/or after an injury. As a therapist Breana's primary goal is targeted treatment in a gentle, therapeutic space in which the body feels safe to let go of what it no longer needs. http://www.breanagilcher.com Show Notes: Breana's Self-Care Toolbox Myofascial Release  Jenni Asher  Performing Arts Medical Association (PAMA)  Eva Amsler  Alexander Technique  Feldenkrais Technique  John Barnes Rolfing  The New Rules of Posture- Mary Bond

Myofascial Release Therapy per Corrie Black-Rofinot, DPT who works at Portland MFR,  Myofascial release therapy (MFR) was developed by John F. Barnes, PT to specifically address the fascia, the connective tissue that runs like a three-dimensional web throughout the body. MFR involves applying gentle, sustained pressure into myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. Three main components, structural releases, unwinding, and rebounding combined with an awareness or energy to enable the patient to break through physical and emotional restrictions.  Come along as Corrie gives us an in depth tutorial on the importance of the body's fascia and how our body stores the traumas we experience in life. MFR is another wonderful modality that can help to heal our mind, body and spirit.  It's time to start the conversion about the beneficial and healing alternatives to the current ideology of hospitals and medications as the sole way to heal hurts and traumas. https://www.portlandmfr.com https://www.portlandmfr.com/schedule

She has created the Love Your Cells Podcast, is currently writing in 2 co-author book projects and in the beginning stages of her own publication. Sue wants to teach the world about Fascia by bringing more of an understanding to the masses.  In this episode we talk about:  1. Our bodies hold onto trauma in ways we can’t even imagine.  Everything we “bury” deep within ourselves will eventually find a way to fester and have an adverse affect on our body.  2. Fascia wants to protect us, whereas scar tissue doesn’t have the same function as healthy tissue.  Scar tissue should not be ignored as we can hold a lot of energy in this tissue that isn’t serving us. 3. Take time to get to the source of the issue rather than masking, avoiding or numbing the symptoms.  Our fascia system is very powerful and working with it to create alignment in our bodies can help people to reduce pain and anxiety at the cellular level.  4. Learning to love ourselves right down to the cellular level can have an incredible impact on our spiritual, mental and emotional states.  5. Abdominal fascia  6.

When they’re stuck there is pain and dysfunction, but myofascial release therapy can free them and allow the light to do it’s healing magic.About the Guest Ronelle WoodRonelle Wood is a leading specialist in Myofascial Release Therapy, having learned the power of fascia from both sides – as a patient and as a healer. She has probed deeply into the light-conducting nature of fascia and what that means for people, how it impacts their emotional and physical wellbeing – and how diminished light conduction can spur problems that someone might not even be aware of. The fascia are the cloak of gossamer connective tissue that surrounds and supports everything in our bodies; they function like fiber optics, conducting light to all points of our body vessel,. When light is stagnant or blocked there is pain and trauma.In her new book Touching Light: How to Free Your Fiber-Optic Fascia, Wood chronicles her path to discovering the life-changing technique of Myofascial Release Therapy that has made her a highly sought-after practitioner in her Ojai, CA clinic.Website: www.ohmsanctuary.com

Ever feel that you're holding the weight of the world on your shoulders? Or perhaps just the stress of everyday life? More than 50 years ago a simple, low-load stretch that releases tightness caused in muscles. It's called Myofascial Release Therapy. This is not about working the muscles on your face but rather the tightness of the fascia. Fascia are the fibrous connective tissues enclosing a muscle. Kathy Murillo, an occupational therapist and advanced myofascial release practitioner talks about this form of physical therapy on this edition of Late Night Health. Myofascial release techniques are used to loosen those tight areas on the body that cause pain. Neck, shoulders, arms, lower back and more are areas mostly treated with this form of physical therapy. Practitioners of MRT must be licensed in other healthcare areas such as doctors of chiropractic, massage therapists, sports injury specialists or physical therapists. MRT is often used in combination with other therapies. The goal is to reduce pain from those stiff and tight areas where movement may be restricted. MRT enhances and increases the effectiveness of the other therapies. The exact phrase "myofascial release" was coined in the 1960s by Robert Ward, an osteopath who studied with Ida Rolf, the originator of Rolfing. Ward, along with physical therapist John Barnes, are considered the two primary founders of Myofascial Release.[5] [6] Some practitioners use the term "myofascial release therapy" or "myofascial trigger point therapy" referring to the treatment of trigger points. The phrase has also been loosely used for different manual therapy techniques, including soft tissue manipulation work such as connective tissue massage, soft tissue mobilization, foam rolling, and strain-counterstrain techniques. Myofascial techniques can be described as passive (patient stays completely relaxed) or active (patient provides resistance as necessary), with direct and indirect techniques used in each.

The fascia, that cloak of gossamer connective tissue that surrounds and supports everything in our bodies, functions like fiber optics. It conducts light to all points of our precious vessel. And when it doesn't. when light is stagnant or blocked, there is pain and trauma. Today's special guest, Ronelle Wood, a leading specialist in Myofascial Release Therapy, knows the power of fascia from both sides; as a patient and as a healer.In her new book,Touching Light: How to Free Your Fiber-Optic Fascia, Wood chronicles her path to discovering the life-changing technique that has made her a highly successful, sought after practitioner in her Ojai, CA clinic. In Touching Light, Wood looks deeply into the light conducting nature of fascia and what that means for people; how it impacts their emotional and physical wellbeing and how diminished light conduction can spur problems that someone might not even be aware of. She discusses how the process of Myofascial release differs from massage and how it can be combined with movement instruction to correct dysfunctional body mechanics.

For Beyond 50's "Natural Healing" talks, listen to an interview with Ronelle Wood. She is the leading specialist in Myofascial Release Therapy. She will explain about the light-conducting nature of fascia and what that means for people, how it impacts their emotional and physical wellbeing - and how diminished light conduction can spur problems that someone might not even be aware of. You'll learn how the process of Myofascial release differs from massage and how it can be combined with movement instruction to correct dysfunctional body mechanics. Wood teaches that sitting all day is the enemy of healthy fascia, and that post-surgical scar tissue can lead to serious issues, which Myofascial Release Therapy can eliminate or prevent. But fascia is more than just a physical matter. The light "freezes" when someone experiences trauma or stores unexpressed emotion.
