Myofascial Release

If you can imagine a sinewy 3D spider web traveling throughout the body, acting almost like a safety net, aiding muscles in their movement and cushioning organs. It allows muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints to slide and glide across each other.

It can reduce optimal movement within the body and lead to muscle tension increasing the risk of injury and inflammation.
