True Balance Therapy is a combination of nearly two decades of postural training, education, and experience that is used to identify, well researched, postural distortion and dysfunctional movement patterns. These faulty and inefficient patterns of movement increase your risk for musculoskeletal injuries.

Myofascial release is a form of manual therapy that involves applying sustained pressure to tight areas of the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding the muscles) to relieve pain and improve range of motion.

Myofascial Release (MFR) therapy is for individuals who experience pain, discomfort, and/or restricted movement due to the tightness or tension in the fascia, a thin and flexible connective tissue that covers all the muscles and bones in the body. MFR therapy is commonly used to treat conditions such as:

1. Chronic pain, such as back, neck, and joint pain
2. Migraines and headaches
3. Fibromyalgia
4. Scoliosis
5. Repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
6. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
7. Sports injuries
8. Post-surgical pain and rehabilitation

It is also beneficial for individuals who suffer from stress, tension, and tightness in their muscles, as MFR therapy can help to release tension and improve flexibility and range of motion.

The goal of myofascial release is to release restrictions in the fascia, reduce pain and discomfort, and improve range of motion.

Myofascial release can be uncomfortable, as the therapist is applying sustained pressure to tight areas of the fascia. However, it should not be excessively painful. If the pressure becomes painful, you should communicate this to the therapist, who can adjust the pressure accordingly.

The frequency of myofascial release sessions depends on the individual and their specific needs. Some clients may only need a few sessions, while others may benefit from regular treatment. Your therapist will be able to advise you on the best plan for your individual needs.

Myofascial release is generally considered safe when performed by a trained therapist. However, as with any manual therapy, there are potential risks and contraindications, such as with certain medical conditions or recent injuries. It is important to discuss any concerns with your therapist before starting myofascial release treatment.

Postural distortion patterns refer to deviations from optimal posture that can result in pain, discomfort, and other health problems. The following are some of the most common postural distortion patterns:

1. Forward head posture: This is when the head is positioned too far forward in relation to the rest of the body, which can strain the neck and upper back muscles.

2. Rounded shoulders: This occurs when the shoulders are rounded forward, which can lead to tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back.

3. Kyphosis: This refers to an excessive curvature of the upper back, which can cause a hunched appearance and put strain on the neck and shoulders.

4. Lordosis: This refers to an excessive arch in the lower back, which can cause strain on the lower back muscles and lead to pain and discomfort.

5. Anterior pelvic tilt: This occurs when the pelvis is tilted forward, which can lead to strain on the lower back and hips.

6. Flat feet: This refers to a lack of arch in the foot, which can cause pain and discomfort in the feet, legs, and lower back.

Correcting these postural distortion patterns typically involves a combination of stretching, strengthening exercises, and changes to posture and body mechanics. In some cases, physical therapy or other rehabilitation interventions may be necessary to improve posture and reduce pain and discomfort.

Corrective exercise is a type of exercise designed to address muscle imbalances, improve posture, and restore optimal movement patterns. The goal of corrective exercise is to improve functional movement and reduce the risk of injury by addressing underlying physical limitations, such as weakness, tightness, or instability.

Corrective exercises can be used to target specific muscles or muscle groups and can include a variety of techniques, such as strengthening, stretching, balance, and stability exercises. Corrective exercises may be used in conjunction with other manual therapy techniques, such as myofascial release or massage, to achieve optimal results.

Corrective exercise is often recommended for individuals who have a history of injury, have developed muscle imbalances due to poor posture or repetitive motions, or experience pain or discomfort during physical activity. A qualified therapist or healthcare professional can help to assess your specific needs and develop an individualized plan to help you achieve your goals.
