Welcome to
Myofascial STL Plus-
A Center for Complementary Health Services

Myofascial STL PLus is a therapy center offering a hands-on approach to treating pain, dysfunction, stress and anxiety. Therapy is applied in a one hour, one-on-one treatment session in a compassionate and relaxed atmosphere.

Accurate assessments, appropriate treatment and providing the atmosphere for true healing requires attention to one client at a time. Our clients continually comment how much they appreciate the time taken to hear their stories and allow them to have their concerns addressed. Compassion combined with years of experience enables our therapists to provide the high level treatment our patients have been seeking.

There is a difference in Therapy Centers.

What is Myofascial Release and Craniosacral Therapy?

Myofascial Release and Craniosacral Therapy are structural approaches that treat the CAUSE of the condition and not just the symptoms, and this is what produces long lasting results. This is how these approaches relate to some of the more common conditions treated in our clinic:

fasciaWhat is Fascia?

Fascia is a tough connective tissue that spreads throughout the body in a three-dimensional web from head to foot without interruption.

The fascia covers the muscles, bones, nerves, organs and blood vessels down to the cellular level. It is said that if we could remove all structures of the body except the fascia, the body would retain its shape. When injured, (injury includes trauma, inflammation, surgery, poor posture, stress, and repetitive use), fascia binds down like bailing wire and can exert up to 2000 pounds per square inch on these pain sensitive structures. The tension causes altered posture, excessive joint compression, decreased range of motion, decreased muscle efficiency and multiple other symptoms patients struggle with daily. In some patients, blood vessels and nerve roots can become caught which creates entrapment syndromes and ischemic-like conditions.

How can Myofascial STL Plus address so many conditions?
Myofascial and Craniosacral restrictions can lie in the tissues undetected by conventional imaging techniques. However, these tight areas are easily palpable by a skilled practitioner. The restrictions can result in dysfunction, limited movement or pain which can affect the function of the surrounding tissues and organs. With the application of light pressure, these tissue restrictions begin to soften, relieving pressure on the surrounding tissues and organs. These restrictions may not actually originate in the symptomatic area, as the fascia is a continuous web that surrounds every cell and organ in the human body. A restriction, or snag, in one area of the fascia can pull to another area. It is entirely possible to have a restriction in one area of the body with an origin of pull from another. 

 

What is EFT(Emotional Freedom Technique)/Tapping?

Myofascial STL Plus has recently added EFT/Tapping. EFT/Tapping is a self help approach that combines tapping to acupressure meridian points to address the body's charged emotional responses to stress, trauma, anxiety, cravings, pain, disease. It is a technique to rewire the brains automatic flight or fight response. This is the most widely researched Complementary Health Service in the world. It is an easy to learn and use technique, clients leave the first session with a daily skill to address their situation. More information and research articles to be posted soon.
