What is the proposed mechanism of action of MFA? - ANSWERSBy compressing, deforming, twisting, and
applying traction to the myofascia, energy is released, and electronegative charges are formed along the
fascial sheets (aka piezo-electric effect) and attracts fibroblasts, GAGs, and lubrication between those
layers. This fluidity helps to decrease CT cross-linkages, and to increase compliance and plasticity of the
myofascial tissues.
The "neuro-reflexive" principles of MFR state that the technique also alters proprioceptive information
joining up with the myotactic reflex.
Briefly describe the diagnostic and therapeutic process of MFR. - ANSWERSIndirect: movement of the
myofascia into the position of ease for all available planes.
Direct: movement of the myofascia into restriction of all available planes.
Respiratory cooperation may help reduce tension. The physician releases the myofascia once it reaches a
point where it can't relax any further.
