Mary has completed specialized training in Fascial Manipulation for musculoskeletal dysfunction, which involves deep friction mobilization techniques over specific points of deep muscular connective tissue to re-establish normal movement and gliding of the tissue for correct muscular activity and nerve function. Myofascial Release relaxes contracted fascia and muscles, improves blood and lymphatic circulation and stimulates the stretch reflex in muscles.
