Dear Shannon, Fascia can become restricted from trauma, surgery, and/or thwarted inflammatory responses. When we are traumatized, the subconscious braces against the threat to our survival and pain. This inner tension begins to slow the vibrational energy within the ground substance of the fascial system. The ground substance (matrix) is ideally a fluid/gel state.
This blockage of energetic flow can dehydrate the fluid component of the fascial system that ultimately solidifies into powerful fascial retsrictions that can exert crushing pressure of up to approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch. This enormous pressure of Myofascial restrictions do not show up on any of the standard tests and over time produce a wide array of symptoms.
Myofascial Release can reverse the painful and limiting effects of trauma, surgery, and thwarted inflammatory responses.

In the JFB MFR approach, we have seen MFR have a devastating effect on inflammation hich is both acute and chronic. The techniques used differ in each instnce, but the results are usually excellent.
Most people know now that inflammation is the common denominator in all disease. So any strategies which can reduce inflammation make a good difference.
In our practice, these include primarily MFR, but also nutrition supplementation / guidance, lifestyle changes, ice, topical homeopathic anti-inflammatory, kinesiotaping etc. ANYTHING that helps!
