John,
Thinking about structure vs. function, I’d appreciate hearing your perspective on how Myofascial Release can benefit women’s hormonal changes as they age. Many of my clients are experiencing changes associated with menopause.
Have you been able to determine that Myofascial Release can help make this transition more comfortable. If so, do you have insight on how this occurs?
Thanks for your perspective!
Hi Owen,
Myofascial Release can be very helpful for menopausal symptoms.
From the Myofascial perspective, “Menopause” is a label for unrecognized and improperly treated myofascial restrictions. “Menopause” is an effect, a symptomatic complex created by fascial restrictions in the fascia’s extracellular matrix(ECM).
Recent research has shown that aberrations in the fascia’s extracellular matrix can change the shape of the cell, which can then alter the production and balance of the biochemical and hormonal aspect of a woman’s physiology.
For more in depth information, go to www.massagemag.com and scroll down to the technique box. Then click on my Therapeutic Insight article titled, “Female Problems.”
Thanks for your interest, Owen.
John
