First, you must understand what fascia is and its function. Fascia is the fibrous

connective tissue which sheathes every muscle, bone, nerve, blood vessel, and organ

within the body. The fascial system supports, stabilizes and cushions the entire body, but

its main function is movement. If the fascia becomes restricted inevitably movement is

altered. Myofascial release is a hands-on technique which restores the pliability of the fascia

so that proper movement is regained.
