Full Circle offers Premium Continuing Education Courses for Massage Therapist and Bodyworkers. Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique is a series of passive contractions that allow therapists to release muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue. I wanted to say how much I enjoyed learning SMRT with Dawn and Patty in Bozeman this weekend.

What is Myofascial Release. Myofascial Release (MFR) is a specialised physical and manual therapy used for the effective treatment and rehabilitation of soft tissue and fascial aches, pains, tension and restrictions. It is traditionally accepted that myofascia is the connective tissue (fascia) in and around muscles, where muscles are the powerhouses of locomotion and posture for the body. Myofascial release is, therefore, an application used to alleviate tension, restrictions and adhesions in the myofascia in order to restore balance and function.
