Myofascial Release
Jana specializes primarily in myofascial release. Fascia is a specialized type of connective tissue that surrounds, invests and protects all of the visceral and somatic structures of the body.

The fascia sheaths entwined in and around muscles are responsible for immediate lengthening of muscle stretching.

Direct technique myofascial release involves slow and controlled application of the therapist's body weight through the hands, fingers and elbows into the client's body.

The movement that initiates the restoration of fascia mobility comes from two sources. The first is the micro stretching that occurs as the practitioner directs pressure into the fascia and the other movement comes from the client who is directed to make a motion that will influence the treated tissue.

Myofascial release will improve a clients ability to incorporate movement re-education. Once the fascia is able to support changes, the client will enjoy the new postural and functional patterns.

Combined with Swedish and deep tissue massage, cranial sacral balancing and trigger point techniques, Jana offers a wide range of remedial modilities to help you toward the recovery of your health.

Healing is a process that takes time and is influenced by many factors. What you do at home, at work and what exercise you choose can have a profound effect on your recovery. So it is important to carefully address all factors affecting your health.
