Equine Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a hands-on technique that facilitates a stretch into restricted soft tissue. It is used to correct tissue imbalances, promote wellness, decrease or eliminate pain, and restore movement.

​

MFR is safe and very effective. Application involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue restrictions in order to allow the tissue to soften and elongate thus returning to a healthy state.

​

Like humans, horses sustain injuries that have resultant soft tissue tightening and compensatory neuromuscular activity. These dysfunctions can be evaluated and treated with MFR techniques.
