Myo-Fascial Release (MFR) has long been used to treat muscular-skeletal conditions with positive results creating free movement and releasing painful areas.  It works on the transparent layer – the fascia – that wraps around all our organs, muscles and soft tissue, releasing it where it has got stuck and restoring flexibility.  But what happens if the specialised techniques used on the body are adapted for the face?

It could be called a facial, but, unlike the facials we indulge in when visiting a beauty salon or a retreat, there a several notable differences:

• There are no rough exfoliators as the gentle hands-on techniques will slough away the dead skin cells
• There’s no need for a cleansing mask as invigorated fascia allows the skin to breathe and detox
• There are no stimulating skin renewal products (e.g. fruit acids) as the energy released naturally stimulates the generation of new skin cells
• You won’t need hydrating products as Hyaluronic acid exists in Fascia and the release of tension and tightness in the face makes room for water to flow for your cells to absorb moisture
• In fact, the only product that may be used is a small amount of organic oil.

The big plus is that an MFR facial will restore your facial health, giving your muscles a boost, improving hydration and toning everything up, giving you a more youthful appearance. And there are also plenty of other benefits.  The MFR facial relieves modern day stresses and bad posture caused by leaning over computers, texting and sedentary lifestyles of long working hours.

An MFR facial:

• Releases tension in your jaw and so reduces the pain that can be caused be clenching or grinding your teeth
• Reduction of puffiness around your eyes
• Eases tension in your neck and addresses the causes of some tension headaches
• Can improve mental clarity; often described as calming, de-stressing and intensely relaxing.  Combatting the effects of a busy lifestyle resulting in you feeling tense, exhausted and, at times, unable to focus on what’s important
• Relaxing, but also energising as pressure points in meridians passing through the face and head are stimulated and energy is released
• A course of treatments usually reduces the need for heavy moisturisers because the structures under the surface of the skin are given the right environment to function better and hydrate naturally.

If you want to regain that youthful appearance, without the need for artificial aid, a course of MFR facials could be exactly what you need.
