 Encore Episode: Myofascial Release Physical Therapy to Address Pain | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Could myofascial release treatment (MFR) be the answer to your chronic pain?When we encounter traumatic or dangerous events, we either stay and fight or we run to save our lives as a defense mechanism. Most people are familiar with this fight/flight response. However, there is a third option called the ‘freeze’ response. When we freeze, the emotional and physical components of the traumatic event are stored on a cellular level. During a myofascial release treatment (MFR) it is not uncommon for these emotions, events and memories to come to the surface and be released allowing people to understand why they have certain physical or behavioral patterns in life. This, in turn, allows for closure to the traumatic experience. Teami Tea brings you the highest quality, most effective, all-natural loose leaf teas right to your doorstep.
