Understanding Myofascial Release

I think that one thing that is important to understand about Myofascial Release is this- The Piezoelectric Phenomenon- This was incurred by Pierre and Jacques Curie, in the late 1800's. T

Piezoelectricity actually means "electricity resulting from pressure". It's from the Greek "Piezo" or "Piezein", which means to squeeze or press, and electric or electron, which stands for "Amber" which is an ancient source of electric charge.

Myofascial Release is the use of sustained pressure overt time. It relaxes contracted (tight) muscles, and increases circulation.
