Scar Tissue forms in the body as a temporary patching mechanism for wounds caused by injury, surgery, trauma or repetitive stress. This scar tissue dries out and contracts over time creating tension, stiffness and hypersensitivity. Adhesions can form and fasten two or more layers of tissues not normally connected, just like a spot weld fastens two pieces of metal together. Adhesions also increase tension and stiffness in your body. Fascia Restrictions: Think of fascia as a shrink wrap that surrounds every muscle in your body. If this becomes dried out, it loses elasticity leading to more tension and stiffness. Circulation. Cells need nutrients and oxygen to function properly. Without ample oxygen, a certain percentage of your muscle cells never fully release after you use them. Tight muscles restrict blood flow creating more tension. Many problems of the musculoskeletal system are related to muscle shortening (Lewit 1999) Fluid restrictions can cause swelling, congestion, toxic buildup and restrict movement. Trigger Points are hyperirritable spots in the fascia surrounding skeletal muscle also known as knots. Rapid Release targets scar tissue and adhesions using gentle resonant frequency compression waves. Rapid Release also releases restrictions and knots and increases circulation relaxing muscles, releasing stress and tension while easing movement. Rapid Release treatments are quick, comfortable and affordable and most often you will feel great results in your first session.
