Re: Myofascial Release Therapy

The fascia is a thin coating, like a skin, around the muscles, tendons,

ligaments, organs, etc. It can tighten up similar to how your muscles contract

and tense. When it is tight, it causes pain and stiffness. Myofascial release

therapy is a special massage to the fascia relax. In relaxing the fascia, a

decrease in pain and stiffness should follow. I used to have very tight muscles

all up and down my spine (I had a Harrington rod fusion in 1975). My back hurt

constantly from the tight muscles. I started seeing a massage therapist three

years ago and I have a much different back now! My muscles are not in a

constant tensed state and therefore, there has been a significant reduction in

pain. Your muscles and such are being relaxed and therefore you probably can

stand a little straighter. Myofascial release will not fix your flatback but it

can certainly reduce the muscle spasms and tension in the affected area.

THANK you . I think we all can say we were ABSOLUTLY TOTALLY sick and tired

of him. I think he was trying to ruin this group. Why, I have no idea. It is a

great group.

Yeah for banning Dave- he took away the sense of safety from the group.

Disgruntled salesperson, man w issues w his mother, who knows, but an intigator

no doubt.

He is good at it, gotta admit that. Some people get off on hurting, poking,

making others frustrated then turn around a play the victim - " u r

over-reacting, I was only trying to help kind of thing "

Happy 2011,

Thank you Mark. I appreciate your compliment. It's been a crazy hectic year for

me, but things are finally starting to settle down. I'll do my best to be more

involved again.

Glad to see you are still on here!

You are welcome . I apologize for not being around and having it go on as

long as it did. If you remember, I became a moderator of this group because of a

lack of leadership or ability to be involved, from the other two moderators. We

all have busy lives and they just needed some help.

I'll try to remain more involved from now on.

Agreed...it was so difficult to sort through his many posts and find anyone else

contribuiting that I was discouraged from posting.
