1995 and 1996 pre-Olympic training camps'
CORE Myofascial Therapy is one of the most advanced treatments available today. Offering deep yet soothing massage, it involves specific techniques of stretching and spreading the fascia (tissue that envelopes the muscle). These techniques are generally applied using little lubricant, to remove restrictions that cause limited mobility, postural distortion, poor cellular nutrition, pain, and a variety of other dysfunctions. During the treatment, a therapist is able to feel subtle restrictions in the movement of fascial tissues and "the letting go" or "melting" that occurs as the fascia elongates and become more pliable. The stretching of tissues and the heat imparted by the therapist's hands are thought to help produce a more fluid consistency of fascial tissues, which allows them to elongate more easily. As the tissues stretch, adhesions or "knots" within the tissues are freed.
CORE Myofascial Therapy was the advanced sports massage treatment for the British Olympic Team during their 1996 Pre - Olympic training camp. For the best results, it is recommended that Myofascial sessions be booked for 1 1/2 Hours.
