Thank you for posting this. I really enjoyed this video not only for the great techniques, but also because you explain why you are doing it and also mention whcih muscles you are targeting at times.

Nice video Gary, thanks! I hope that more therapists begin incorporating MFR because it really works.

Better than other vids I’ve watched but I’m still confused. Is not myofascial release palpating from origin to insertion. What muscles were you working on(completely)? Seems like this is just simple deep tissue. I did like the scapula moves. Could you really palpate the supra/infra teres minor from origin to insertion in that move? Anywho, best vid. so far though.

Myofascial release is not working individual muscles. Its purpose is to lengthen, or liquify the sheets fascia covering muscles, or muscle groups. In this clip I’m addressing the first layer of fascia. As in the clip, I start out each session with MFR, then add lotion (sometimes) to adress specific muscles and their tendons. This clip is just one of 4 sections showing MFR. The sections on how I treat individual muscles comprises a larger portion of the 100 minute DVD on the upper limbs.

Thank you so much for reply. I have just recently got out of school and they never mentioned the word myofascial, they taught us Structural Integration, Movement Techniques and a few other modalities, I think might be envolved in Myofascial, but I’m not sure and a woman who I just started working with, who has great technique told me Myofascial Release is starting from origin to insertion on each muscle. I’m confussed. I need a class! Again, thanks so much for your reply and posts.

Do you have a dvd available for upper body myofascial? i am certified in neuromuscular therapy and do a bit of myofascial and have found your approach to myofascial that can affect erector spinae/rhomboids/trapezius much more effective then the double loose fist drag i was doing. At times i would not get the ‘hook’ needed, recently i adopted your ‘palm of hand’ drag and it has proven to be very effective. Thanks for the video, it has helped me help clients at the clinic im working at.

Check out Art Riggs. I teach bodywork and have done some training with him. He is very good and his video clips are quite informative.

awesome! I also do myofascial work prior to do massage. It allows me to feel where the constricted areas are or Knots. I like the pin and stretch move, thanks for this video
