Frequently Asked Questions
It is helpful to have adequate rest and to eat a light meal (soup or salad or sandwich…and a glass of water) prior to each session for sufficient energy and hydration. Your body requires energy in the form of food and water to function! MFR is not a “passive” type therapy. You will be moving and expending energy at times.
**PLEASE BRING A BOTTLE OF WATER TO YOUR TREATMENT SESSION! **
Please bathe prior to your session, and do not wear any perfume, lotion or makeup. MFR is best performed on clean, dry skin to eliminate “sliding” of the therapist’s hands.
Please inform the therapist of:
- any skin condition, or any type of medical condition/diagnosis that may be contagious
- recent surgeries of any kind (less than six weeks post surgically)
- body jewelry or hair pieces that cannot be removed
- body implants (augmentation) or reconstructive surgery
- wear a hormonal patch/creme/pellet
- medical implants/devices such as (pacemaker, pain pump, shunt, stent, port, surgical clips, surgical mesh, rings, IUD, plates/screws, joint replacement)
- wear assistive devices such as (contact lenses, dentures, hearing aides), etc.
Be prepared to remove all jewelry, and secure longer hair in a loose ponytail. The therapist will work around medical and assistive devices as is possible.
Wear comfortable clothing to your session, and be prepared to be treated in your undergarments (Women: bra and panties, Men: briefs, boxers or loose shorts/trunks). Modesty draping (covering with a light sheet) is available for your comfort.
- EVALUATE existing postural issues (initial evaluation consists of a 2-hour session which combines evaluation, treatment and a beginning MFR self-treatment exercise for home).
- TREAT those areas that cannot be adequately addressed in self-treatment
- EDUCATE specifically why, how and when to use MFR on a daily basis as a self-treatment tool. Provide MFR exercises at each treatment session, relevant to the area(s) of the body/issues being addressed; monitor the use of those exercises, review as necessary until they are “second nature.”
- PREVENT future postural issues through follow-up treatment to monitor progress and address situational treatment needs. Schedule follow up treatment session(s) as needed to provide hands-on treatment; assess progress and teach additional MFR self-treatment exercises.
What has taken years to develop, will take time to treat. Healing is not an event, it is a process. It will take time to identify and address chronic issues, depending on the severity of your symptoms and your response to treatment, including your commitment to helping yourself through self treatment.
Myofascial Release does not have a “one size fits all protocol” of treatment. Treatment is dynamic and changes as your body changes. The time frame of treatments is individual, based upon your issues and response to individual treatment sessions. MFR doesn’t require endless visits, because you will learn how to use MFR for your own self-treatment, and as you progress, you can then learn to recognize when you may need to schedule follow up sessions with your MFR therapist.
It is important to commit to scheduling sessions as recommended by your therapist, as these recommendations are made with careful and knowledgeable consideration for the most effective course of treatment (frequency and duration) for your health care dollars. Treatment is never recommended in excess of what is needed, and the goal of treatment is to return you to a pain-free, healthy lifestyle!
Myofascial Release begins with a thorough “hands-on” evaluation of posture and movement patterns. Based upon the evaluation and the information you provide, we will be able to discuss your individual needs. The frequency and duration of treatment is different for each individual, and is based upon your body’s own response.
During each treatment session, we will consistently teach body awareness during the hand-on portion of the session, as well as during the self-treatment training so that you learn to recognize your body’s important signals, via the “fascial voice.” We will also teach a growing repertoire of MFR self-treatment exercises, making sure that you understand how, why and when to use MFR. Ultimately, you will be educated, therefore, empowered to choose and use MFR consistently to positively impact your own well-being. The degree to which you commit to using MFR techniques on a daily basis will largely determine the frequency, duration and outcome of your MFR therapy program.
