Myofascial stretching is highly effective in the correction of structural imbalances and in releasing tension across the joints. This is often the missing link in resolving problematic cases of pain and dysfunction. This type of stretch requires a longer time to complete a stretching cycle, and the stretches must be held continuously for a minimum of 30 to 90 seconds before the fascia releases its tension. Instead of stretching out the muscle, myofascial stretching uses precise postures and highly coordinated movements to target the fascia surrounding specific muscles and joints. Active elongation and a breathing cadence are part of the key concepts in myofascial stretching, allowing the body to improve its flexibility and mobility.

Benefits of myofascial stretching:
• Prevent joint injuries
• Assist in the tissue recovery process
• Improve overall posture & muscle balance
• Promote spine and joint health
• Improve flexibility & mobility
• Enhance muscle performance
