How to Free Your
Fiber Optic Fascia
by Ronelle Wood
This book is about an exciting healing technique called myofascial release
therapy. It is based on a fairly recent understanding of the nature of the
fascia surrounding our muscles, muscle fibers, organs and tendons, which
had, until recently, been studied only on cadavers.
I
t turns out that the fascia is composed of
bundles of water-filled tubules that act like
fiber optic cables. They are able to both
store and transmit information. When the
information being carried is about fight or
flight, unless it is released by screaming,
trembling or running away – or something
similar – it can be held in the tissues for years.
The results is that the fibers can stick together
like strands of spaghetti that have been not been
stirred, and even stick to the underlying muscles
and organs causing constriction and pain.
MFR Therapy is a hands-on technique that identifies areas of constriction and blockage, and through
gentle manipulation invites energy flow and circulation back into the area. This often results in the
release of the blockage and the pain, as well as the
emotions that have been held in the area.
When you consider a lifetime of accumulated traumas and resulting blockages, you can imagine how
they can affect our posture, our digestion, and even
our blood pressure. By removing these blockages
