Fascia, MFR, and the body

We are emotional beings. And as emotional beings, we internalize, or hold on to, unprocessed emotions and store them in our fascia. The fascia, explained in the most simplistic way, is a fluid mesh that surrounds all of our organs and muscles. It is a vast network of connective tissue with nerve endings, pain receptors, AND it conducts energy.  

The fascia is considered a sensory organ and it plays a big part in how we regulate our emotions.

It also acts as a lubricant—so muscles can fully contract without friction. When the fascia is restricted there may or may not be pain—local pain, referred pain, chronic pain, or acute pain—but there will always be restricted movement.

This restriction is an invitation to look at what unprocessed emotions you’re holding onto, or what’s no longer serving you AND it is a gateway to begin to process and release the restriction. This is where MFR holds the key.

MFR is a gentle process that facilitates the release of stored unprocessed emotions through, compressing, holding, and providing traction to a specific site, on the body.

Through countless hours of working with MFR on clients, I have witnessed how the processing of emotions that arise during a session releases the pain or restricted movement that was held in their body.
