Direct Myofascial Release Technique

The direct myofascial release method, sometimes referred to as deep tissue therapy, works by engaging the myofascial tissue restrictive barrier then applying a constant force and /or drag on the tissue until there is a fascial release.

Direct myofascial release seeks changes in the myofascial structures by stretching, elongation of fascia, or mobilizing ( moving) adhesive tissues (scar tissue).

The therapist moves slowly through the layers of fascia until the deep tissues are reached.

Knuckles, forearms elbows or other tools may be used to stretch the restricted tissue.

Here are seven steps according to Michael Stanborough for direct myofascial release:

Land on the surface of the body with the appropriate 'tool' (knuckles, or forearm etc).
Sink into the soft tissue.
Contact the first barrier/restricted layer.
Put in a 'line of tension'.
Engage the fascia by taking up the slack in the tissue.
Finally, move or drag the fascia across the surface while staying in touch with the underlying layers.
Exit gracefully.

There are many different myofascial release courses to take; however most of them are taken from either the indirect or direct myofascial techniques.

Many times myofascial release is incorporated in the sporting environment.
