MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
A treatment thats goal is to
release tension in the fascia

Its a safe hands on

connective tissue that is

eliminate pain and restore

Myofascial release is extremely relative to my

about it two years ago at a Texas A & M Sports
medicine summer camp this project just helped me
expand my knowledge on myofascial.
