MyoFascial Release Technique

[TheCureZone]

Thanks

[IcyAir0]

@0afron0 he wasn't talking about the tibia as a bone he was talking about the muscle that has the word tibia in it. It probably originates in the tibia but inserts down further.

[IcyAir0]

This has helped me so much. I learned this technique yesterday. But my teacher kept getting off subject and I was completely confused. To me it just seemed like holds, but now I really understand what's going on with the muscles and fascia.

Great video, I'm sure I'll be using this technique on clients now. Especially frozen shoulders and general back problems.

[sophielamb1]

I'm looking for somebody in the south of England who does this. Surrey preferably. Anyone know please contact me at sophielamb1@gmail.com

[soggysausage]

this guys is so smart

[0afron0]

"make sure the tibia is not attached to the shin bone"..its a fibula dr.

onomatopeiabeing, trigger points, adhesions,restrictions, myofascial et cetera does anyone actually know what HYPERTONOCITY is? and the best wat to treat it? which is not putting constant pressure on muscle, this can serve to aggrivate the underlying problem. I shake my head at this industry, its so full of experts, everyone is the best, huge egos. I have nothiingn against this video btw, but therpists are terribly misguided and think wha tthey're doing is the right way. THOMAS GRINER- NEUROSOMA

[Helios601]

There is too much onomatopeia in the massage community i.e. buzz words for poetic affect that infact do little to recondition skeletal muscle, I thought I knew what I was doing until I came across Thomas Griner, nonme of us have a clue what were doing, pressure on muscle will never be the best approach, please people, do some research on the stretch relfex mechanism, and study Griners work, it stands alone just now, the guy is a genuis, the only one I have came across in this field imho

[nikvin]

He forgot to drape his client. :)

shin splints is the muscle tearing away from the bone you dont want to put pressure away from the bone like how he did you go in at an angle towards the bone..

[harveypotato]

Wow. I was told this would work with Fibromyalgia, but that is completely incorrect after seeing this video. There's no way any human could dig their thumb or fists into me, at all.

[tannaauger]

careful you don't blow out your thumbs buddy. use your other fingers together and this will help prevent that wobbling the thumb and take better care of yourself as a therapist. Good video all in all.

[spidaminida]

Wow, what a great video!

I find the MFR technique terribly useful, and combine it with heat therapy in areas of diffuse ischemia to excellent effect. This video really helped me think literally about the properties and potential treatment of fascia issues, thank you!

[redSHIFT69]

this video is too hott for youtube

[chrissysmassage]

that is awesome, I'm planning to attend mfr classes one section of the body for several class sessions. I imagine I will be learning a lot of what you just shared. Thank you for the inspiration.

[bruxyb]

shin splints comes especially when running downhill

[Schoix]

how much pressure do you apply ?

[seand11]

[Tattooedgirlie]

He looks like Freddie Ljungberg

[sum0ne2l0ve]

[Julebs]

At 2:54 the picture looks like you´ve switched Tibia and Fibula bones!

[bigassballsyes]

I think this MR gets way too much attention, just get to work and lsiten to patient which few therapists do and if you wanna know how to treat muscles, check this guy out, period! Labackandbody

[Wraethrax]

4:50 working Tib. Anterior with the thumb like that is asking for arthritis. I don't want to tell you how to practice, but I use this technique as well and my pisiform contact works well and my thumb doesn't get the crap beat out of it. :)

[EvilMatters]

THANK YOU!!!

100 THUMBS UP!!

I'm really confused about what myofacial is. I've been taught, sports, structural, movement, tigger point ect. However, I was told by a fellow employee that myofacial is simply slow deep palpation of a muscle, from origin to insertion. What is the right way? What really is myofacial? Is it all the modalities I just mentioned? Or is it something else? What this video just showed to me, was trigger point therapy and structural integration. Is that what myofacial release consists of?

[WritingJenny73070]

think of fascia as those thin sheets of tissue

[KenGS333]

Try wikipedia and read the articles about "myofacial release" and "structural integration". I am not trained in any of this, but in the videos on which you've posted about your "confusion" I feel that what these things consist of has been described clearly enough.

[rauleeter]

Mfr or myofascial release is a modality that is very affective. Since fascia is continual throughout the body if you have adhesions or your fascia is restricted and not healthy it can affect your posture, range of movement and overall health. I use this in every massage i do. I highly recommend, nice video too btw.

[randomuser1105]

@blueciel8 There was no trigger point therapy in this video. Myofascial release is simply releasing tight fascia, as explained in the video. You can use deep palpation to find myofascial adhesions, but palpation is not the actual technique.

[spershall]

Thank you for posting this! I have a shoulder injury and am considering a physical therapist who offers this technique. It looks great!

[cynthia21689]

Just wanted to say THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING!!! I am a student massage therapist and I didnt quite understand myofascial release and what exactly it does. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH, YOU HAVE HELPED ME ALOT!!!!!!!!

[chylogurti]

Check out Art Riggs on YT. I have trained with him. Good luck with your studies

[dtomic17]

Your clients Hot haha. nice girl

[dragonflies7704]

these sites (sights) are for professional therapists not perverts

[floresed]

i'm sure that was on purpose for the video :).

[TheJordandelphonic]

@dtomic17 LOL LOL, I was just watching this and was thinking, i bet people are commenting on how hot she is, and I scrolled down and yeah, first comment. Yeah she is.

[dtomic17]

@TheJordandelphonic correct me if im wrong but she looks Yugoslav somwhere from there ??

[oaksnacorns]

Just want to say, I have been using MFR as a PT for more than 15 years. It almost does not fail to give significant benefit. The challenge sometimes, is finding just what tissue is involved. Many, many chronic pain problems reside in the soft tissue. So if you have chronic pain, find a practitioner who will take the time...

[psolis052004]

would you find this type of therapy effective for knee bursatis

[hockinm1]

I had a roadworker who tiled paving slabs all day with something similar, to the extent he couldn't play football and even the skin over his knees had thickened and gone red. While the fascia had evidently thickened on this area the real problem was his abs were screwed up, as he did hundreds of situps daily. The abs lie on the superficial front line of fascia the parts of which were tight as with Sammy here. You can fix this yourself by following the NQC stretching videos for a few days.

[dmugger]

I had this done a few years ago because I wasn't stretching after putting a lot of stress on my tricep. It worked amazingly, one treatment and it was gone for good. It's a little painful while it's happening but damn does it work!
