Myofascial Release Massage:
MFR treatments apply gentle, sustained pressure to areas of restricted tissue to eliminate pain and improve overall function of the body. MFR treatment helps to release restrictions and can stimulate profound, long-lasting, positive changes in both the mind and body. MFR can have real benefits for chronic conditions like Lyme disease, Fibromyalgia, depression, chronic low back pain, chronic fatigue, GI issues, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and more.
