Reduces Sciatic Nerve Pain Sciatic nerve pain is experienced by many women in the last trimester of pregnancy as the uterus rests on muscles of the pelvic floor and lower back.

All muscles, arteries, bones, organs, etc. are held together by a Saran wrap kind of tissue called fascia. Developed in the late 1960's by John Barnes, Myofascial Release works by the manipulation of the fascia that connects and surrounds muscles.

The fascia responds to the trained touch to release the adverse effects of inflammation, tensions and trauma.

Waste products and toxins, such as lactic acid, can build up in tight muscles. Waste products and toxins can produce tightness, fatigue and pain. Muscle tightness, fatigue and pain decreases muscle flexibility. Massage stimulates the drainage of waste products out of the muscles. Massage stimulates lymphatic drainage. Lymphatic drainage is responsible for naturally flushing out waste products out of the body. The decrease of waste products and toxins in the body prevents tightness from occurring in the muscles.
