Women's Health
While myofascial release treats the whole body and the whole person, it is important to acknowledge the role of the pelvic floor in overall health. There is also importance in treating newborns immediately following delivery and through childhood to help resolve birthing traumas and prevent future issues. So many issues and symptoms that people experience can be helped through this specialized treatment.
