Tuesday, August 17, 2021 - Neurofascial Release Workshop

Presenter: Tyler Lang BSc (Kin), MPT

On August 17, 2021 we are offering a remarkable opportunity to provide your body with a unique experience: to optimize recovery and improve function.

NFR, or neurofascial release, is a specific stretching sequence developed here at Mackie which will target muscles, tendons, joints, ligaments, and fascia, and will even tap into the nervous system. It has been developed in such a fashion that it can be manipulated to fit your specific needs.

A great analogy to consider is comparing the body to a vehicle; it is suggested we get an oil change every five thousand kilometres to keep our vehicle running smoothly. By continually keeping up with maintenance on your vehicle it helps to prevent a big repair bill and allows us to get the most productivity out of our vehicle. The unfortunate part with our bodies is that sometimes we forget to keep up with our prevention work and this is when problems start to arise.

We need to remember that we are provided with one vehicle that we must maintain throughout our life. Unfortunately, unlike vehicles, we do not have a check engine light or indicators that pop up on the dash and tell us when we are breaking down. What we strive to do at Mackie Physiotherapy is address problems prior to your check engine light going off. One of the ways we implement a proactive approach to your health is by utilizing this NFR component to help maintain your body and keep it running as efficiently as possible.

This seminar will guide you through the many benefits that NFR can provide. We will discuss anatomy, injuries, and function, and talk about the importance of a proactive vs. reactive approach.

As always, there will be promotional offers for those in attendance! We hope to hear from you and any friends that would enjoy an evening of entertainment and virtual education. Forward or share this email with anyone you feel would enjoy this workshop so they can register and learn as well.
