Healing Tree Myofascial Therapy

Healing Tree Myofascial Therapy Healing Tree Myofascial Therapy is located in Rockford, IL and specializes in myofascial therapy alo What is Myofascial Release or MFR?

Healing Tree Myofascial release utilizes OT, MFR, and Reiki practices. Our Goal is to let go of chronic pain and to give you back control of your health and well being! Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential “time eleme

nt” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate. Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.) The use of Myofascial Release allows us to look at each patient as a unique individual. Our one-on-one therapy sessions are hands-on treatments during which our therapists use a multitude of Myofascial Release techniques and movement therapy. We promote independence through education in proper body mechanics and movement, self treatment instruction, enhancement of strength, improved flexibility, and postural and movement awareness. Hands-On Treatment

Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery. This enables the therapist to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.

Tongue pull next visit anyone?

From birth, your tongue is connected to your toes through an intricate network of fascia. If your tongue is not resting correctly in your mouth, things can get out of alignment in your mouth and the rest of your body.

Tongue posture can lead to a foot imbalance and vice versa because the tongue guides all myofascial continuity structures that run from the inner arch of the foot up through the middle of the body to the tongue and jaw muscles.

When the tongue sits on top of the palate, it seals the oral cavity and holds the throat open like a tent. These muscles support the neck, keep your posture straight, help you breathe, and maintain your posture upright.

Your tongue also acts as a rudder and support system through a fascial line, and when the tongue is down, we breathe through our mouth, and the head falls forward due to lack of support, which leads to poor posture and increased energy expenditure.

Last week I had the opportunity to complete my Shared Journey Fertility Certification w/ Dr, Jennifer Mercier🥰.
It is a great compliment to John F. Barnes Myofascial Therapy. It just dives deeper into what we can do in woman's health.

This approach is a naturopathic approach to pelvic floor pain, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility, IVF as well as an alternative to IVF, painful periods, hyper/hypo thyroid, low estradiol, scar tissue, perimenopause, menopause and more...
