The fascia is one complex, holistic regulating organ primarily made up of collagen which is everywhere in the body and all connected.  It is the connective tissue that surrounds and penetrates every muscle, surrounds bones, covers organs and envelops every nerve and acts as a channel of communication.  The fascia collagen fibres can tighten and form knots that we can feel beneath the skin.  Because of the fascia full body connection, pain in one area can create symptoms in another area and affect movement elsewhere in the body.

• How it works:
  • Releasing restrictions: The technique aims to release restrictions and fluid pressure within the fascia, which can contribute to pain and limited movement. 
  • Improving fluid flow: By applying vibration and pressure, VFRT can potentially improve the flow of fluids in the extracellular matrix (ECM), lymphatic system, and blood circulation, which can help reduce pressure on muscle fibers and nerve receptors. 
  • Pain Relief: The technique aims to relieve pain by addressing the underlying fascial restrictions and fluid pressure that can lead to pain and discomfort. 
• Potential benefits:
  • Pain relief: By addressing fascial restrictions and fluid pressure, VFRT can potentially reduce pain and discomfort. 
  • Improved mobility: Releasing fascial restrictions can improve range of motion and flexibility. 
  • Improved circulation: By improving fluid flow, VFRT can potentially enhance circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues. 
  • Relaxation: The gentle nature of the technique can promote relaxation and reduce stress. 
• Scientific basis:
  • Research indicates that vibrations and manual therapies can separate aggregated hyaluronic acid molecules, which can reduce pressure on muscle fibers and nerve receptors, potentially improving movement and reducing pain. 
  • Vibrations can also increase the flow of hyaluronic acid, which is a key component of the fascia.
