The Myolissa Technique
is a myolissage technique that, with the use of specific manual maneuvers, works towards relaxation of tensed muscle fibres. Its mission is to provide everyone with the ability to relax their tensed muscles in order to soothe the pain resulting from inflammation.
Muscles allow and are responsible for movement. If the muscle is tensed-up or spastic, it will be unable to contract and will not allow the bone to perform its full movement. In addition, it cannot return to its normal length and allow the member to return to its usual position in resting mode. If we continue to use our muscle and force them to make full movement, then the muscle pulls on its attachment points (origin and insertion), or where the tendon attaches to the bone. It then forms micro-tears and it is in these places that inflammation will develop.
If the muscle is totally relaxed, there is no reason why it should become tense again.
