# Myofascial Release and Energy Cysts

Myofascial Release Therapy is gentle bodywork that evaluates and treats fascial restrictions or “trigger points”. Releasing these restrictions promotes flexibility, range of motion, strength, alignment, fluid movement, and improved comfort.

 SomatoEmotional Release (copyright Upledger) may occur during a myofascial release session. This process occurs in the tissues and cells of the body that store negative emotional energy related to trauma.

 

## Fascial Release

 The fascial system is a continuous network of connective tissue that weaves throughout the body, connecting and supporting muscles, groups of muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels and organs. It helps to bind structures together and provides stability while also allowing movement and flexibility. When a structure becomes tight or knotted, it can cause pain and reduce mobility and function. Myofascial release (MFR) is a specialized manual therapy that addresses these issues by working directly with the fascial system.

 [![Rejuvenate your whole body & balance your health without medications - now remotely!](https://alsuprun.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/BioresonanceTopAd.png)](https://www.bioresonance.rent) MFR is an effective treatment for a range of conditions and injuries. It alleviates pain, enhances mobility and improves physical performance. It is also helpful in reducing scar tissue and improving circulation, helping to support healing and relieve inflammation. It is a valuable component of an integrative approach to pain management, and can be used alone or in conjunction with other therapies, such as acupuncture, physical therapy and massage.

 Myofascial release therapy works by releasing the tension in the connective tissue that surrounds the muscles, organs, and bones. It uses gentle, sustained pressure to loosen the restricted areas and restore motion and flexibility. It can be performed as a standalone therapy or in combination with other forms of therapy, such as self-stretching exercises, heat and cold therapy, manipulation and acupuncture.

 As with any form of massage, there are some risks associated with MFR therapy, including temporary soreness or bruising, and increased discomfort if a session is overly intense. However, MFR has a low risk of serious complications when performed by a trained practitioner and it can be beneficial for individuals with a variety of health conditions, including chronic back pain and fibromyalgia.

It can also help relieve arthritic and sports-related pain, as well as lower back pain and tension headaches.

## Energy Cyst Release

 SomatoEmotional Release (SER) is a therapeutic process within CranioSacral Therapy that releases the negative emotional energy associated with trauma. It is based on the assumption that during intense trauma our bodies often retain, suppress and isolate the physical and energetic force of the injury rather than allowing it to discharge naturally. This encapsulated, foreign chaotic energy is called an Energy Cyst and can continue to drain our energy system over time. This is especially true if the cyst is not cleared on an ongoing basis. The body acclimates to the presence of an energy cyst as best it can but over months and years this can come at a cost, leading to pain, physical dysfunction and emotional disturbances. These can manifest as chronic physical illness, autoimmune disease or fatigue, decreased immune function and anxiety or even social, mental or psychological dysfunction.

 An important point about SER is that it doesn’t try to bypass the body’s normal protective mechanisms, but instead works at the level of the nervous system and the tissues themselves. It does this by recognizing that the original trauma was encoded at a somatic level, not an emotional one. It is also a slow and gentle process, because pushing for more catharsis or intensity could overwhelm the system and reinforce the pattern that led to the formation of an energy cyst in the first place.

 SER therapists use light touch to help the body reestablish its natural craniosacral rhythm and reset any abnormal patterns. They then use techniques such as still point induction and energy cyst release to encourage the discharge of trapped energy. Unlike Fascial Release, the results of SER are not always dramatic, but they may be felt as a deep exhale or as a wave of warmth through an area that was cold and tight. Sometimes they are felt as a tremor or shaking, and occasionally they lead to tears and emotional expression.

 The therapists who offer SER are skilled at feeling the energy cysts and following their movement, as well as working with the circulation, meridians and chakras of the body. They are also trained to work with the emotional components of this energy and to bring about a resolution in the form that is most appropriate to that individual. This is particularly important because a successful resolution of an energy cyst requires re-encoding the original trauma at a deeper level. This is the only way that the energy cyst can truly be resolved, and the trauma pattern can be broken.
