There are many reasons why we treat children with myofascial release.  Birth trauma, falls, surgery with multiple scars, muscle imbalances,poor posture, muscle weakness, poor movement ability…all of these things can create imbalances in the body which make movement and overall function less efficient.   Research by Dr. Viola Fryman has shown that over 90% of newborns have some sort of distortion to their head or pelvis due to the birthing process. It was previously thought that these distortions would self-correct but more recent research proves this not to be true.   These distortions can create imbalances in the skeletal and fascial systems creating restrictions that can block physical and neurological development,setting the child up for problems later in life.

Myofascial release uses gentle techniques to produce changes in tissue and joint mobility,muscle length, bony alignment, muscle tone and sensory changes as well. It has also been shown to enhance social and language skills.  Myofascial release has been very effective in the treatment of children with:

• head injuries
• birth trauma
• cerebral palsy
• scoliosis
• movement dysfunction
• headaches
• trauma
• pain
• autistic spectrum disorders

Could myofascial release therapy be the missing link in your child’s treatment?

John F.Barnes,P.T goes on to explain why there can often be a mind-body complex that makes it difficult to lose the weight.

What often happens is there was an event that occurred early on in our lives where there was an emotional or physical trauma which was overwhelming.   We tend to bury the feelings/emotions in the subconscious level.  This creates a trigger which can interfere with our ability to cope with the situation.  The mind/body then creates a mechanism by which it copes and it often can lead to problems with weight, alcohol, drugs, and any type of excessive behavior. Often times a compulsion develops because the body/mind complex is trying to anesthetize itself, so it doesn’t feel this inner fear or pain that came from a past event.

It seems that the subconscious can cause a person to carry excess weight, almost as a protective mechanism.  Once the subconscious has lost the fear from the past event, then the body can start to function normally again.  You don’t feel that urge to overeat and you go back to a more instinctual pattern of eating.  It can be likened to a pregnant women who instinctively eats something because their body is requesting (“craving”) it.  As the mind/body complex heals itself, you are able to go back to a more instinctive way of living where you are now eating the right food for yourself in the appropriate amounts.

There are many programs that are designed to promote weight loss and/or designed to help with compulsive behaviors. Though these programs are well intentioned, many of them are only providing coping strategies, and are not getting to the root of the problem.  So it’s not that you shouldn’t go through some of these programs, because they may benefit some people.  However, often times, Myofascial Release turns out to be the missing link, not only with pain and the restoration of motion, but also getting to the root cause of these compulsions that too many of us are saddled with in our lives.

Myofascial Release allows the person to safely reconnect with this information that is buried in the subconscious.  The mind/body then processes this hidden information and resolves the problem so it no longer has to cope.  Then a healthy, balanced diet, exercise, and all of the other complementary things that are important to us to be healthy, begin to work effectively for that individual.  In fact, through the Myofascial Unwinding ₁, we see many people after they have gone through their healing process, end up losing a lot of weight, without making any other major changes.  And at that point, adding exercise and a proper diet becomes more effective than it was previously. You are then able to return to a more balanced and joyful way of living again and eliminate compulsions and/or coping behaviors.

At Jersey Shore Myofascial Release Center we offer a comprehensive program of myofascial release and  nutrition with the Kingsley Institute. What you can expect is to meet with a Registered Dietitian and nationally certified massage therapist to establish a customized plan. You’ll discuss your current situation, goals, times and specific actions needed for you to be successful. We will work with you to ensure you know what to eat, how much to eat,how to stretch and how to take care of yourself. Our programs are highly successful at weight loss and emotional release, boosting energy levels, decreasing medication,eliminating pain, looking better and improving your self-esteem.  We will be your personal advocate to ensure your successful journey to reach and maintain your goals.

” The average American, softened by modern technology, which increasingly limits his or her physical activity, must think in terms of getting more exercise.  It is important for total physical and mental well-being.”

During each menstrual cycle as inflammation occurs, combined with fascial restrictions and increasing internal pressure, cramping and muscles tightening; we can see how a woman would become more prone to trauma. If you were to envision the fascia like a powerful three dimensional net around the pelvis, tightening down and exerting 2000 pounds of pressure per square inch on the nerves, blood vessels, organs and internal structures, the potential for pain and/or malfunction is high.
This powerful three dimensional fascial web encases the entire body. During a trauma , and a thwarted inflammatory response, the fluidity of the fascial system becomes dehydrated and alters the shape, size and mobility of all of our cells.
Myofascial release can gently free the structures that are producing pain and also address the emotional pain associated with past unpleasant events or trauma that have been stored on the subconscious level. As Myofascial release opens the adhered tissue, the trapped emotions fade away and the person is returned to a sense of peace and a pain free active lifestyle.

Please let us know if either yourself or a woman in your life is suffering with any of the above conditions and the unnecessary pain associated with it.

It is our intent with each newsletter to keep you updated on the world of Myofascial Release and let you know a little bit more about how Myofascial Release can benefit a variety of different disorders and diagnoses. In our February newsletter, we will focus on Women’s health issues.

Women’s Health
Women tend to have a higher degree of problems in their pelvis, compared with men, due to the unique form of their anatomy and its function. The female pelvis is broader, which can make it become torqued or twisted more easily and the joint surfaces are flatter and can become sheared during a micro or major trauma.
Myofascial release is used for the treatment of menstrual pain or dysfunction, back and pelvic pain, endometriosis and other inflammatory disorders. It has been used successfully to alleviate pain during pregnancy and childbirth, recurrent bladder pain and dysfunction, painful intercourse, infertility, sexual dysfunction, elimination problems, and painful episiotomy and c-section scars. It has also been used for problematic breast implant/reduction scars and mastectomy pain.
