MYOFASCIAL MOVEMENT

Service Description

When we think about movement of the human body, it’s important to understand that our movement is not strictly governed by the muscles themselves, but rather the chains of muscles and the connective tissue in between, known as the myofascial system. Mastering foundational movement patterns are key when it comes to improving muscle function and performance. Without these deep subsystems cooperating with each other, dynamic movement would effectively be impossible. Myofascial movement training aims to improve the function, flexibility, and health of the fascia to enhance mobility and range of motion in the body. Posture and Alignment: The fascia plays a crucial role in maintaining proper posture and alignment. Myofascial movement training aims to address imbalances in the fascia that may be causing postural issues or misalignments. By focusing on specific movements and exercises, it can help reestablish balanced muscle tension and improve overall posture. Movement Efficiency: Healthy fascia allows for smooth and efficient movement. Myofascial movement training helps optimize movement patterns by addressing any restrictions or limitations in the fascia. By promoting proper alignment, mobility, and stability, it enhances movement efficiency and reduces the risk of injury. Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation: By targeting the fascia, myofascial movement training can help prevent injuries by addressing imbalances, reducing excessive tension, and improving tissue resilience. It can also aid in the rehabilitation process by promoting tissue healing, reducing scar tissue formation, and restoring proper movement mechanics. Body Awareness and Mind-Body Connection: Myofascial movement training often involves slow, deliberate movements and focused attention on the body. This helps develop body awareness and a stronger mind-body connection. By paying close attention to the sensations and movements of the fascia, individuals can develop a better understanding of their body's needs and make adjustments accordingly. Performance Enhancement: Optimizing the function and mobility of the fascia can have positive effects on athletic performance. By improving movement efficiency, reducing restrictions, and enhancing flexibility and strength, myofascial movement training can enhance overall athletic performance, including speed, power, agility, and endurance.
