A baby elephant has the same weight as the tensile strength of your body's connective tissue - 2,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. This crushing pressure tightens around pain sensitive structures like blood vessels, nerves and organs, which create
pain and dysfunction. When you have pain, dysfunction or chronic illness you literally have the weight of a baby elephant pushing
you, creating a thwarted inflammatory response, commonly known as symptoms or disease. When your posture is pushed, twisted or
forced out of alignment, severe pain can ensue. Your body begins to feel like you are wearing an internal straightjacket. Myofascial Release addresses the most important system of your body that surrounds all other organ systems down to the cellular level, fascia.

The fluid filled fabric of fascia is the body’s tensegrity system that connects from head to toe without interruption—literally connecting the mind and the body. Any trauma, fall, accident or surgery affects the fascia, which is your body's shock absorber and organ of posture. Symptoms are the tip of the iceberg and can often mislead the patient when searching for the real cause. Rather than focusing on the symptoms, we need to cure the cause of pain. Myofascial Release addresses the embedded web that runs from head to toe continuously.
