12/9/2020 Yes, we are OPEN! Holding Space MFR in San Diego specializes in the John Barnes Myofascial Release technique. Myofascial release or myofascial release massage, as it is sometimes called, is a gentle but effective form of therapy that targets the restrictions within the fascial system (connective tissue) to help relieve pain and tension and to increase range of motion. This is very different from traditional massage; in fact we do not use massage techniques on the muscles at all. We use sustained compression and stretching techniques to target the fascia of the body. We don't just treat the symptom; we address the cause to help provide a resolution to your pain. We treat a variety of diagnoses including but certainly not limited to chronic fatigue syndrome, TMJ, migraines, fibromyalgia, neck and back pain, bulging dics, scoliosis, plantar fasciitis, pelvic pain, and alignment issues. Why is fascia important? The fascia is the shock absorber of the body and when it becomes tight and restricted, it can potentially put up to 2,000 lbs of pressure per square inch on pain sensitive structures. The goal here at Holding Space Myofascial Release is to take that pressure off of the body and allow it to move freely and painlessly so that our clients can continue living an active lifestyle. We are excited to provide this opportunity to our clients here in the heart of San Diego.
