MRF is a highly successful and popular technique, especially with people noticing any restrictions in their muscle's ability to stretch and strengthen. 'Myo' meaning muscle and 'fascia', a connective tissue overlaying the muscles, tend to stick together which causes postural tension and stiffness, muscle pain, and reduced muscle strength. Myofascial restrictions develop in the body as a result of poor posture, dehydration, stress, trauma or injury causing scarring. This technique slowly yet effectively releases adhesions between the muscle and fascia by using firm pressure and no lotion. The result is reduced pain and tension and an increase in the muscles' capacity to stretch and strengthen.
