Atlanta Myofascial Release

After having received two cortisone injections for lower back trouble, I was seemingly on the brink of full-​blown back surgery. Because I’m stubborn and don’t want to have a dang surgery, I sought other treatments, including Chiropractic, physical therapy and myofascial release. Physical therapy jacked me up even more, while chiropractic enhanced the myofascial release treatment. In fact, I would go so far as to say the myofascial release single-​handedly kept me from back surgery.
Myofascial release is the release of the fascia that connects our whole entire bodies. And when fascia is bound up, it inhibits the mechanics of our muscles and skeletal frame. My skeletal frame was out of whack because of all the muscles that were pulling here and there and everywhere – because my fascia was all bound up!
Now, my first appointment with Celia McDermott seemed strange. I’ve had many massages and myofascial release is not like your typical rubbing/​pressure techniques. In fact, sometimes I just felt like her movements were too light, or that she’d just press her hand in a spot. But the weird thing is, she’d press lightly with her hand for several minutes and all the muscles in that area would just start melting and easing up. It was incredible. And then, after the session, over the next few days, other muscles would release and even my joints and back would shift and feel better. It was amazing.
Now, regarding my back trouble. Because I was in such bad shape, I had to see Celia three times a week for about six weeks. Then I went down to two times a week, then every week, then every other week, and now I see her sporadically – BECAUSE SHE FIXED ME! lol But really, if you’re having back trouble. Take the time and the money to see Celia and live pain-​free!
I really can’t say enough about Celia McDermott and myofascial release. The first session or two may seem different to you because it’s a different approach to tissue/​muscle therapy. But stick with it and give in to the method. It works. I’m an upright, walking example!
